Planning consultation.

 

Launch of public consultation for the East Riding Design Code

A public consultation will be held between 11 September and 22 October on the new design code for the East Riding. Details on how to take part in this consultation can be found below.

Recent amendments to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have required the preparation of design guides or codes by all local planning authorities, with the aim of providing a local framework for creating well-designed places reflecting local priorities and character.

In March 2022, East Riding of Yorkshire Council was selected as 1 of 25 national pathfinders for the preparation of a new Design Code. This Design Code is expected to be an exemplar of an authority-wide code, and one that aids other authorities in developing their codes.

The draft East Riding Design Code has been prepared over the last year and a half with a wide-ranging stakeholder engagement programme. Work on the code started publicly in March 2022 with a public survey asking residents what was important to them about where they live, and design as a whole. This survey received over 1600 responses.

We have now reached the stage where a draft version of the code is going to be made available for public consultation, and would like to invite you to submit any comments or feedback you may have.

We are holding a series of in-person events across the authority where paper copies of the draft Design Code will be available to view. These events will also give members of the public the opportunity to ask Planning Officers any questions they may have.

These events will be held at the following locations during 12.30pm to 6:30pm:

• Pocklington Pocela Centre: 19 September
• Bridlington North Library: 21 September
• Goole Library: 25 September
• Hornsea Library: 26 September
• Market Weighton: 27 September
• Haltemprice Library: 2 October
• Hedon Library: 3 October
• Driffield Library: 9 October
• Beverley Library: 12 October

Additional information about the draft East Riding Design Code can be found at eryc.link/designcode (which will be made live on Monday 11 September).

How to respond

The consultation survey can be completed online at eryc.link/designcodesurvey (which will also be made live on Monday 11 September).

Alternatively, if you wish to complete a paper survey, copies at our libraries and Customer Service Centres or email planningdesign@eastriding.gov.uk

Responses must be received by 22 October.

Next Steps

After the consultation period feedback will be collated, reviewed, and sent to the consultants who will with us on implementing recommended changes to the current draft document prior to adoption which is anticipated for early 2024.

Following its adoption, the code will require constant management and review to determine how it is working and where future changes can be made to ensure the code continues to be both usable, deliver the best outcomes in terms of ensuring high-quality design, and in-turn achieving its aims and objectives.

Thank you,

The Planning Design Team

Harvest Festival Sunday 1st October at 6.30pm

Harvest Festival Sunday 1st October

Bielby's Harvest Festival service will take place in St Giles's at 6.30 pm on Sunday 1st October.

There will be light refreshments afterwards.

We shall again decorate the church with tins and packets of food which will be passed on to The People's Pantry, our local food bank. If you would like to donate to the food bank, please leave your offerings on the table at the back of the church. It will be open 10.00 am to 6.00 pm on Friday and Saturday 29th/30th September.

We had an excellent response last year, thank you, and it would be good to repeat it for The People's Pantry which will certainly be grateful for the help once again.

Everyone is welcome to the service.

Bus Timetable

 John Peel has asked for a meeting agenda item regarding the Bus service we get in Bielby.

Basically there is a service (X36) on Mondays to Fridays that picks up at 06.45 and goes to York, then returns at 17.40 from York Station arriving at Bielby probably around 18.35, its a request stop, so you have to tell the driver you want to get off at Bielby.

There is another service (195) on Tuesdays from Bielby to Pocklington at 10.33, returning from Pocklington at 14.07.

I will put a copy of the current timetables on the noticeboard and you can see them HERE too.

Listening Books

We got an email from the UK charity Listening Books, if you know anyone who may benefit or needs assistance getting in touch with them, please see the information below;

We provide an audiobook lending service for people of all ages who find it difficult to read or hold a book due to an illness, mental health condition, disability or learning difficulty (such as cerebral palsy, dyslexia, dementia, depression or anxiety, for example).
 
I'm getting in touch because we currently have funding which allows us to offer completely free Listening Books Memberships for anyone in Hull and East Riding who is eligible for our service but would find our usual membership fees (£20 - £45 a year) a barrier to joining.
 
.
 

We have over 10,000 professionally-recorded audiobooks in our collection for all ages and interests, which listeners can stream and download online, and order through our postal MP3 CD service
