Take a look at some of our recent Case Studies
East Yorkshire is part of the Humber region, strategically located midway between London and Edinburgh, offering a market of more than 40 million people within a 4-hour drive radius. The area is home to a diverse range of businesses and industry sectors, all of which provide high-quality goods and services to help build and develop local supply chains. With multiple oven ready development sites, quality commercial premises, great connectivity and a skilled workforce, as well as low operating costs: East Yorkshire is an ideal place to start, locate and grow your business.

The East Riding of Yorkshire can provide quality commercial sites, popular smaller industrial estates, business parks, business centres and market town developments.
Major development sites are situated along the M62/A63 corridor with superb access to the national motorway and Humber port network. Many other land opportunities exist outside this strategic corridor but tend to support more local demand.
This, added to the proactive and flexible support on offer by the Invest East Yorkshire Inward Investment Team makes starting, growing or locating a business in the area the perfect choice.
In addition to its location assets, the area also benefits from enhanced government support for businesses looking to locate in East Yorkshire in the form of Special Economic Zones (Enterprise Zone and Freeport sites).
Humber Freeport Tax sites at Goole and Hull East offer a range of benefits if investors have a physical occupation on the site before 2031. These include enhanced capital allowances for investment in machinery, structures and buildings, relief from stamp duty and business rates and exemptions from employer’s National Insurance contributions for the first three years of being operational.
Direct occupier benefits on Enterprise Zone sites at Goole and Melton West Business Park have now lapsed but the business rates generated from new investments on these sites are being reinvested in the region to support the delivery of our economic strategy.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Planning team can help you identify and resolve issues prior to submission, increasing the chances of success of your application and the speed you will receive a decision. They offer site visits, meetings, and consultation with internal advisors.
This can be included in Planning Performance Agreements which help to provide bespoke management of the application from end-to-end and agree key milestones for your project.
The Planning team encourages submission through the Planning Portal to help them process applications as quickly as possible.
The Planning validation team typically responds within 1-3 days of submission. The Validation Checklist provides details of the requirements.
The use of pre-application services is encouraged, to identify likely issues that consultees may have prior to submission. Through Planning Performance Agreements, the team can support applicants to resolve any issues raised by consultees.
The team aims to evaluate applications within 2 weeks of the close of consultation.
To speed up decision making, the team limits amendments that can be made to live applications unless they have agreed on a bespoke timetable through a Planning Performance Agreement.
The Planning team works to statutory timescales for determination (8 weeks for minors, 13 weeks for majors and 16 weeks for EIA development) unless a bespoke timetable is agreed through a Planning Performance Agreement.
Over 90% of applications are determined under delegated authority. Planning Committees are every 4 weeks, and for significant major development applicants may be invited to make a pre-committee presentation to promote understanding of their scheme.
Planning Performance Agreements can offer a bespoke approach to condition discharges and amendments.
When you are ready to start work the council’s Building Control service will agree an inspection service plan before you start, outlining the stages of work that require inspection.
