Proposal for 69 New Homes on Land off Main Street, Wilberfoss

A proposal was brought forward for 69 new homes on land off Main Street, Wilberfoss. This page explains how it progressed.

Pre-application consultation

Before a formal planning application is made, developers often carry out a pre-application consultation to share their ideas with the local community and the Parish Council. Residents were invited to look at the proposals and give their views. Comments made at this stage help to shape the plans, although they are not formal planning objections.

The full planning application

A full application was later submitted by Crest Nicholson under reference 23/02292/STPLF. Planning applications are decided by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC), not by the Parish Council. You can read more on our page about the Crest Nicholson full planning application for 69 dwellings.

The Parish Council's role

The Parish Council is consulted on applications in the parish and gives its comments to ERYC. Planning is a regular item at our monthly meetings, which are open to the public. See Parish Council meetings, or contact the Parish Clerk with any questions.

Planning in the wider area

New housing is also a part of the East Riding Local Plan, which sets out where the council expects development to take place. The draft allocation for Wilberfoss has been highlighted in our news in brief on the home page.

Everyone has a different view on new homes. Some residents welcome them, while others worry about traffic, school places, drainage and the character of the village. All of these are valid concerns to raise with the planning authority.
