What the official figures mean for fitting a pet flap. Figures cover the East Riding of Yorkshire and the City of Hull together. These are area-wide figures, so your own home may be quite different. We'll always look at your actual door, glass or wall.
31%
of homes are terraced houses
England average: 23%
Terraced homes are well above the English average, largely because of Hull, where nearly half of homes are terraced.
Hull and the East Riding compared
In Hull, about 47% of homes are terraced and only around 8% detached. In the East Riding, it's roughly the reverse: about 35% detached and 19% terraced. In Hull, a flap usually goes in the back door onto the yard; in the East Riding, there's often a choice of back door, side door or wall.
The Holderness coast
From Bridlington down to Withernsea, coastal homes are exposed to strong easterly winds off the North Sea. If your flap faces the sea, choose one with a strong closure and good seals, or consider a more sheltered position.
Beverley and many East Riding villages have conservation areas. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with East Riding of Yorkshire Council before altering original doors or walls.

Questions from homeowners in East Riding of Yorkshire
Does a cat flap in a yard door need permission in Hull?
Usually not, unless the property is listed, in some conservation areas, or you rent. Tenants need their landlord's agreement first.
Which is better for a detached East Riding home: wall or door?
Both can work. A wall flap keeps your door intact and suits cavity walls; a door flap is usually quicker. We'll recommend the best option for your home.
Who handles planning?
Hull City Council for the city of Hull, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council for the rest of the county.
