How schemes in Howden 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 Howden
A small market town at M62 junction 37, with a historic minster and a station about a mile to the north. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A63 and A614, at M62 junction 37. 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 Howden?
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 Howden?
Yes, including Goole, Snaith and Selby, 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.
