How schemes in Goole get decided.
One council for planning and highways
East Riding of Yorkshire Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer.
What shapes schemes in Goole
An inland port at the head of the Humber, at M62 junction 36, with docks, logistics sites and freight traffic. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A161 and A614, at M62 junction 36. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M62, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Goole?
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the M62.
Do you cover the area around Goole?
Yes, including Howden, Snaith and Thorne, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M62 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
