Planning constraints map

Planning constraints are policies or conditions that affect whether, and how, a property or piece of land can be developed.

You can use this map to check constraints that may affect development plans for land or property in the East Riding area.

Please note: this map acts as a guide and does not feature all planning constraints that the council consider within the planning application process.

Step 1 – About the interactive planning constraints map

This map allows you to:

1. View the following mapping layers for a specific address or area of interest. It is important to note that this map acts a guide only, and does not feature all planning constraints that the council consider within the planning application process.

  • Conservation areas – Areas of architectural and historic interest have been identified as Conservation Areas to preserve their character. You can search for conservation areas in the East Riding using our map and load the 'conservation layer'.
    Read more about conservation areas and to view the adopted Conservation Area Appraisals.

  • Listed buildings – Nationally important historic or architectural buildings are 'listed' to protect them from unacceptable alterations. Listed Building Consent will be needed for any works which affect the special character of a listed building. To find out if a proposed development site contains or is within the curtilage of a listed building please visit the map and load the 'listed building layer'.
    Read more about listed buildings.

  • Development limits – Areas within which development proposals would be acceptable in principle, subject to complying with other policies contained in the Development Plan. To find out if a proposed development site is within the curtilage of a development limit please visit the map and load the 'development limits layer'.
    Look at the East Riding Planning Strategy document for more information about development limits.

  • Tree preservation orders – Trees that have been identified as important to the appearance of an area and can be protected by Tree Preservation Orders either individually or as a group. To find out if a proposed development site contains protected trees please visit the map and load the 'TPO layer'.
    Read more about tree protection and regulations.

  • Scheduled monuments – Nationally important archaeological sites or historic buildings. To find out if a site contains scheduled monuments visit the map and load the 'scheduled monuments layer'.
    Read more about scheduled monuments on the Historic England website.

  • Heritage Coasts – Areas of beautiful, undeveloped coastline which are managed to conserve their natural beauty. To find out if a site contains heritage coasts visit the map and load the 'heritage coasts layer'.
    Find out more about East Riding Heritage Coasts.

  • Sites of special scientific interest (SSSi) – Areas of particular interest to science due to the rare species of fauna or flora it contains. To find out if a site contains SSSIs visit the map and load the 'SSSI layer'.
    Read more about designated sites on the Natural England website.

  • Flood risk zones – These are areas of land identified by the Environment Agency (EA) as potentially at risk of flooding. The EA categorises the areas into flood zones. The extent of the risk will depend on which flood zone the land falls into.
    Read more about flood risk zones on the GOV.UK website.

  • Hazardous Sites – Certain sites within the East Riding of Yorkshire area may be authorised to use and/or store hazardous substances or be within a certain proximity of hazardous gas pipelines as defined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
    When we receive planning applications for development on or near these sites we will consult with the HSE and where necessary the Site Operators for their advice and guidance.
    Read more on the HSE website.

2. Draw an area of interest using the map drawing tools and evaluate constraints.

3. Print and save evaluation results.
