Message from Kellie Foster – Yorkshire Water Corporate Affairs

As you may know, last winter there was significant flooding across East Riding, with significant impacts to the village of Ellerker. This flooding was caused by extremely high groundwater levels and at points, the water infiltrated our network. At that time, we mitigated the situation in order to allow customers to retain the use of their facilities and to prevent sewage escapes into customers homes and gardens.

As a result of this, we are holding a community event on Saturday 19 October at Ellerker Village Hall from 10am to 12pm.

This event will explain to customers what action we took over last winter to mitigate the problems they experienced, and what work we have done since this time. In addition, we will be offering advice on what individual homeowners can do to protect themselves from flooding, how to take advantage of our financial support packages for those in receipt of a low income, give advice on blockages and how to prevent them, sign people up to our Priority Services Register (for those who need a little extra support) along with much more.

The session will be interactive and suitable for all ages. Customers who live outside of Ellerker are also welcome to attend.

We would be delighted if you could attend the event, and help us to spread awareness of it so we can reach as many of your constituents as possible. I will also be inviting Sir David Davis MP as well as the Dale Ward Councillors. We will also be contacting the most impacted residents directly, as well advertising the event on our social media channels.

We hope that this event will be positive and a chance for our customers to ask any questions that they may have about Yorkshire Water.

The next Ellerker Parish Council meeting will be held at Ellerker Village Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday 5th September 2024.  All residents are welcome.

The meeting agenda can be viewed here.

Please see the link below to the Ellerker Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulation Assessment Screening Opinion.

ERYC Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Opinion – Ellerker Neighbourhood Plan

The result of this initial screening is that an Environmental Report covering the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive is not required and that a Habitats Regulations Assessment is not required to accompany the Ellerker Neighbourhood Development Plan.

The screening opinion has been published and made available to view on the ERYC website.

The next step is the consultation process. The ERYC Planning Policy team are preparing a policy map, which will be included as an appendix to the Ellerker Plan along with a list of statutory consultees to whom the plan will be shared.

Please find attached the latest version of the Neighbourhood Development Plan which has been updated to include the revised local green spaces information.

The Ellerker Neighbourhood Planning Group are working on the draft Basic Conditions Statement to bring it in line with the advice received from the ERYC Planning  Policy Team. The draft Consultation Statement will be updated once the Regulation 14 pre-submission consultations have been undertaken.

The meeting agenda can be viewed here.

On the 24th of May members of the Neighbourhood Plan Development Team met with the ERYC forward planners and subsequently received feedback from ERYC regarding the Local Green Spaces. ERYC have subsequently agreed to provide a map of the green spaces that can be included in the appendix of the NDP, showing these areas with the relevant constraints.

The Neighbourhood Development Plan has been updated with the required amendments as of 17th May. The update following the meeting on the 24th May is not included as yet. The  document is available via the following link. Please note this version is raw and not refined.

There will be further updates to the plan as we incorporate additional feedback and refinements. We are still waiting for feedback on the screening opinion from the Department of Environment and also feedback from ERYC on the draft basic condition statement and draft consultation statement.

Please find below the original documents to allow you to track the changes.

We would like to inform you about the progress of the Ellerker Neighbourhood Development Plan, which we consulted you about last year . The core of the plan, covering the years 2024 to 2039, based on your feedback has been developed with the assistance of Urban Glow consultants, funded by a grant we received. We are currently fine-tuning the plan with the help of EYRC to ensure it meets our requirements and can pass an external examiner’s scrutiny, as required by law.

We will be consulting you again for your opinions over a six-week period in the near future as mandated by regulation, on the pre-submission plan. The plan will be publicised for your review before the independent examination. This will be followed by a referendum, and if the referendum supports the plan, it will be adopted.
