The East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Planning Committee met on Thursday, 10 September 2026, to discuss several planning applications. The committee resolved to defer two significant housing development applications, one in Hornsea and another in Hessle, pending the completion of Section 106 legal agreements.

Nutkins, 72 Rolston Road, Hornsea

The committee considered a hybrid planning application for the erection of 103 dwellings and associated garages, parking, landscaping, and infrastructure, along with outline permission for five additional dwellings, at Nutkins, 72 Rolston Road, Hornsea. The application, submitted by Foxglove Homes, was called in by Councillor Jefferson due to concerns about access, drainage, and the need for affordable housing.

Following discussions and representations from an objector, the applicant, and Councillor Jefferson, the committee resolved to defer the application. This deferral is to allow for the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement to secure various provisions, including on-site open space and its maintenance, off-site contributions for outdoor sport and its maintenance, a Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) monitoring fee, travel plan monitoring fees and sustainable travel vouchers, the provision of self and custom-build dwellings, off-site nutrient mitigation, and the management of a surface water lagoon. Additionally, a traffic regulation order for junction protection on Rolston Road was required. Subject to the completion of this agreement, the Director of Planning and Economic Growth was authorised to approve the application, with amendments to conditions as detailed in the report. If the agreement is not completed within three months, the Director is authorised to refuse the application.

Land North of 360 Boothferry Road, Hessle

The committee also considered an application by Beal Developments Limited for the erection of 169 dwellings with landscaping, public open space, and associated infrastructure at Land North of 360 Boothferry Road, Hessle. This application had been referred to the committee by Hessle Town Council due to material planning concerns.

The Director of Planning and Economic Growth presented the report, noting representations from Councillor Nolan, the applicant's agent, and Councillor Bovill. The committee resolved to defer the application pending the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement. This agreement will secure a Humber Strategic Access Management Mitigation Strategy (SAMMS) contribution, a BNG monitoring fee, contributions towards off-site highway capacity improvements at the A63/A15/A164 Western Interchange (including the Humber Bridge roundabout), travel plan monitoring fees and sustainable travel vouchers, on-site provisions for affordable housing and open space, off-site contributions for outdoor sports and affordable housing, the provision of self and custom-build dwellings, a Woodland Management Plan and associated management company for the footpath and woodland to the north of the site, management of on-site open space, and a Section 106 monitoring fee. Subject to the completion of this agreement, the Director of Planning and Economic Growth was authorised to approve the application, subject to the conditions detailed in the report and the specified amendments. If the agreement is not completed within three months, the Director is authorised to refuse the application.

Future Planning Applications

The committee received an update on future planning applications that are currently under consideration or are likely to be presented to future meetings. Members were invited to indicate if they wished to hold a site visit for any of these applications. The report noted that a site visit had already been arranged for land at Melton Bottom Quarry, Welton Old Road, Welton.
