How schemes in Hull get decided.
One council for planning and highways
Hull City 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 Hull
A flat port city with high levels of cycling, the A63 running along the waterfront to the docks and a busy central interchange. Officers focus on walking, cycling and public transport, and on keeping parking to what a scheme genuinely needs. Junction capacity matters most on the main routes in.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A63 and A1033, with the M62 to the west. 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 A63, 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 Hull?
Hull City Council is both the planning authority and the highway authority for local roads. National Highways is responsible for the A63.
Do you cover the area around Hull?
Yes, including Beverley, Hornsea and Market Weighton, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A63 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
