Supplementary Planning Guidance

Planning for Tourism Accommodation

This Guidance Note brings together existing policy, material considerations and best practice in relation to tourism accommodation into one Guidance Note, making the information more easily accessible than it has previously been. The note contains guidance to developers and officers submitting and determining planning applications relating to tourism accommodation proposals.

Flood Risk Note for the Planning Application Process

This Note has been prepared to provide assistance to developers, applicants, and council officers on how to use the council’s Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and how to apply national Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS25): Development and Flood Risk in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It aims to promote transparency and consistency in the approach we will take to applying the PPS25 flood risk Sequential and Exception Tests.

Interim Planning Document on Renewable Energy Developments

The IPD sets out the various considerations to be taken into account by potential applicants preparing renewable energy proposals in the East Riding. It sets out the council’s proposed approach to planning for renewable energy in meeting its targets for the proportion of energy from renewable sources for 2010, 2021 and beyond. The document gives advice on different types of renewable energy such as wind energy, biomass and energy crop conversion and others. It advises on the preparation and submission of planning applications and highlights potential constraints and planning issues to be considered by developers. The document is concerned with grid connected developments below 50MW.

Yorkshire Forward have also commissioned a Renewable Energy Toolkit to provide further guidance on issues of microgeneration, decentralised and low carbon energy. The Toolkit is available to download from the Local Government Yorkshire and the Humber website or via the link below

Managed Release of Residential Development Sites IPG (October 2003)

This Interim Policy Guidance (IPG) sets out the Council's approach to the government's advice on the delivery of housing through the planning system, notably to control the pattern and speed of urban growth and deliver its target of recycling previously-developed ('brownfield') land.

Annual Updates

Approval of the IPG was subject to an annual monitoring report being submitted to The Cabinet on the housing supply/completion position. This is to allow consideration of whether the prevailing approach to the release of sites should be revised. Each annual update provides information on the following:

The decision on whether any allocated greenfield sites should be released, and if so which ones, is made through the Cabinet and is based on the housing completions / supply position on the 1st April each year. Previously, this has been set out in an annual update report. However, the annual update report is now incorporated as part of the annual Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).

The latest SHLAA is available by clicking the link below.

Previous annual updates are available below:

Sequential Approach to the Managed Release of Residential Greenfield Sites in the Western JSP Sub-Area

At its meeting on July 14th 2005, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Cabinet agreed that there is a need to release Greenfield sites for residential development in the Western Joint Structure Plan (JSP) sub-area. After consultation with a variety of stakeholders, the Cabinet approved the Sequential Approach (13/12/05), and this was used to identify the most sequentially preferable sites for release in the Third and Fourth Annual Update reports. However, it has now been superseded by the Housing Site Assessment Methodology.

Affordable Housing Interim Approach

The Secretary of State has not allowed the Council to 'save' Local Plan policies on Affordable Housing. The Council therefore agreed an Interim Approach as the consistent basis for the provision of affordable housing until an approach can be put in place through the Local Development Framework and/or a Supplementary Planning Document.

The Council has also agreed some 'Background Notes' that explain the detail of how the Interim Approach will be implemented

Outdoor Playing Space on New Residential Developments SPG

This Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) explains how the provision of Outdoor Playing Space can be achieved more effectively, and augments the policies in the East Riding of Yorkshire Council's four adopted Local Plans.

Integrated Coastal Zone Management

Details of coastal management can be found at the Coastal Observatory website - http://www.hull.ac.uk/coastalobs/

Roll Back Policy

The Council agreed a ‘Roll Back’ policy for houses and farmsteads threatened by coastal erosion in November 2005. The Cabinet report and the Rollback policy document are available below.

Previously, the Council agreed a ‘Roll Back’ policy for Caravan and Holiday Home Parks threatened by coastal erosion in June 2004. This is provided through the Coastal Observatory website and is available below.

Village Design Statements

The Council has adopted four Village Design Statements as Supplementary Planning Guidance for the villages of Swanland, North Ferriby and South Cave and the town of Howden. They were produced in partnership with Town and Parish Councils and local residents. They provide detail on the character and style of the village and the surrounding countryside and set out guidelines for the design of new developments and changes to existing developments. This ensures that the specific characteristics of the village or town are preserved. The four statements are used when considering planning applications and can be viewed below.
