The East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Planning Committee met on Thursday 8 October 2026 to discuss several planning applications. The committee resolved to refuse the application for three dwellings at Brough Golf Course Club House and to defer the application for the change of use of the RAOB Club in Goole for a Humber Strategic Access Management Mitigation Strategy contribution, with the Director of Planning and Economic Growth authorised to approve it subject to this contribution and specified conditions.

Brough Golf Course Club House, Land South of Links House, 49 Elloughton Road, Brough

The committee resolved to refuse the application for the erection of three dwellings at Brough Golf Course Club House for the reasons set out in the Director's report. The refusal was based on several grounds, including the site's location outside the defined Development Limit, its designation as Open Space, and the resulting loss of mature trees and green infrastructure. Officers also cited harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Elloughton Conservation Area. Concerns were also raised about the provision of satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, including the risk of stray golf balls and potential overshadowing from proposed landscaping. The proposal was deemed to conflict with national and local planning policies, including Policy S5 of the NPPF and Policies ENV1, ENV2, ENV3, C3, and A1 of the East Riding Local Plan Strategy Document Update (ERLP SDU). The Western Area Planning Sub-Committee had previously resolved to refer this application to the Committee with a recommendation that permission be granted.

RAOB Club, Chapel Street, Goole

The application for the change of use of the RAOB Club from a licensed club to four self-contained residential units was deferred. The committee resolved to defer the application for a Humber Strategic Access Management Mitigation Strategy contribution. Subject to this contribution, the Director of Planning and Economic Growth was authorised to approve the application. This decision was made on the basis that the benefits of returning an important historic building into active use were considered to outweigh the flood risk. Approval would be subject to conditions including specific flood mitigation measures, such as all floor levels being at 3.2m or above ordnance datum, floodproofing up to 300mm above floor level, the presence of an elevated place of safety, and the creation of a flood safety plan. Conditions proposed by statutory consultees would also be applied. The Western Area Planning Sub-Committee had previously resolved to approve this application contrary to officer recommendations, citing the benefits of the building's regeneration and flood risk mitigation.
