East Riding of Yorkshire Council are consulting on a Draft East Riding Design Code and inviting your comments.
Draft Design Code consultation (eastriding.gov.uk)
The Draft East Riding Design Code aims to encourage the creation of connected, distinctive and inclusive places that are walkable, green, and sustainable while taking into consideration their context: the built environment and the landscape.
The council previously conducted a period of public and stakeholder consultation in late 2023 and early 2024 on a draft version of the design code. Changes to the 2023 draft code have been made based on the feedback received during that consultation.
During the consultation period, the Draft East Riding Design Code, the Draft Compliance Checklist, the Draft Allocations Place Types and supporting documents will be available online at www.eryc.link/designcode for viewing and downloading. Alternatively, you can find a printed version of the document in all libraries and customer service centres in the East Riding, where you can make a copy of the response form.
To have your say on the draft document please complete the survey online at www.eryc.link/designcodesurvey before Monday 2nd December.
For any questions about the consultation please contact planningdesign@eastriding.gov.uk.
Comments will be made available on the council website in due course. The council only redacts personal data with respect to email addresses, telephone numbers and signatures. To ensure we can log all responses and keep you informed of progress on the Local Plan and related documents, your details will be retained and used in accordance with our privacy notice, available to read at: www.eastriding.gov.uk/council/governance-and-spending/how-we-use-your-information/find-privacy-information/privacy-notice-for-forward-planning/.
Following the consultation period, the feedback will be collated and reviewed. Where appropriate, changes will be made to the draft document prior to adoption of the document. It is anticipated that the Design Code SPD will be adopted in early 2025.

Work will start on creating additional consulting rooms from Monday 7th October.
The builders will be on site from that date, with the front entrance being blocked off. There will be an alternative patient entrance around the back of the Surgery, with diversion signs in place.
Parking, which has always been limited, may be even more so during this period. The Health Centre will do their upmost to keep disruption to a minimum for staff as well as patients.
The NHS will partly fund the project but the essential equipment for these rooms will have to be funded by kind donations and fund raising.
The Health Centre Staff thank you for your patience and understanding.

As part of a project involving horses on the road, Humberside Police are carrying out a pass wide and slow campaign ride along the B1230 between Newport and Gilberdyke to raise awareness for horses using the roads.
On Saturday 23rd November 2024 an event is being planned involving those from the equine community and Newport Parish Council. It is planned to involve local media and the local community. It is also open for people to walk or cycle also.
The event looks at riders split into groups of roughly around 6 riders, depending on numbers, with a safe gap between groups to allow traffic to pass safely also. It will hopefully look at educating everyone on how to pass wide and slow, the impacts an accident or near miss could have and educate that manners and respect is a two way street and aim to make the roads safer for all.
The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner is also engaged.
