We analyse in a systematic way the (non-)compact n-dimensional Einstein Weyl spaces equipped with a cohomogeneity-one metric. With no compactness hypothesis, we prove that, as soon as the (n-1)-dimensional space is an homogeneous reductive Riemannian space with an unimodular group of left-acting isometries G 1)a non-exact Einstein-Weyl stucture may exist only if the (n-1)-dimensional homogeneous space G/H contains a non trivial subgroup H' that commutes with the isotropy subgroup H, 2) the extra isometry due to this Killing vector corresponds to the right-action of one of the generators of the algebra of the subgroup H'. We also prove that the subclass with a one-dimensional subgroup H' corresponds to n-dimensional Riemannian locally conformally K\"ahler metrics, the (n-2)-dimensional space G/(HxH') being an arbitrary compact symmetric K\"ahler coset space.
