Planning policy

Hull City Council is responsible for all planning issues for Hull. We –

• research and create far-reaching, strategic plans to guide the development of the city
• create planning policy and guidance to control and steer development
• provide area action plans
• provide supplementary planning documents

Planning policy is concerned with forward plan making. We are involved in preparing the new Hull local plan for the city and joint planning with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

We are currently preparing Hull's new local plan documents –

• the core strategy
  This sets the overall vision and determines the key principles for future planning policy in the city. It covers housing, business, services and open spaces. It will include a key diagram which will show approximate locations for new development and investment
  
  More information on the core strategy
  
  
• a site allocations document
