Planning Applications in Anlaby

East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Anlaby lies outside the Hull city boundary, so applications are determined by the East Riding under its local plan rather than by Hull City Council.

There are two figures. The council application fee is set nationally and varies with the type of application. Our fee covers the survey, the drawings, the statements and running the application. We give you both before starting so the total is clear at the outset.

The council fee for a certificate is lower than for a full householder application, and the assessment is on legal fact rather than an officer's judgement. Where a scheme genuinely falls within permitted development, that is usually the cheaper and more certain route.

No. The initial consultation is free, and that includes an honest view on whether the scheme is likely to pass, whether it needs rethinking, or whether it needs no application at all.

The reasons on the decision notice are the route back, and most refusals turn on one element rather than the principle of extending. A resubmission addressing those reasons normally attracts no further council fee within twelve months, and we deal with the revised scheme rather than starting the relationship again.

On a routine extension, usually not. On an unusual scheme, on older property, or where a similar proposal nearby has been refused, an officer's early written view is often worth the fee because it either de-risks the application or saves you the cost of it entirely.

A householder application is normally determined within eight weeks of validation, a larger one within thirteen. Add a couple of weeks at the front for the survey and drawings, and note that the clock does not start until the council accepts the submission as valid.

It depends on the gap. On suburban streets the council generally wants some separation retained between houses so the row does not read as a terrace, which usually means setting the extension back from the front and keeping it off the boundary. Designed that way, side extensions are common.

No. The council consults them and gives a window for comment, but objections are weighed against policy rather than counted. Overlooking, loss of light and overbearing scale are material. Disliking the idea, or worrying about a view, is not.

We do. Officers ask technical questions about drainage, overlooking, materials and policy compliance and usually want a quick answer. Those conversations go to the person who drew the scheme, which is faster than relaying them through a homeowner.

Yes, in almost every case, and it is a separate cost and a separate process. Planning covers land use and appearance. Building regulations cover structure, fire, insulation, ventilation and drainage.

Yes. Retail units, offices, restaurants and mixed use schemes go to the same authority, though the policy tests bring in access, servicing, extraction and hours of use. We prepare and manage those applications on the same basis.
