Development land wanted in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Selling land in the East Riding of Yorkshire? We buy directly and welcome local agents.
The East Riding of Yorkshire, as used here, includes Kingston upon Hull as well as Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Driffield and many villages across the Wolds and Holderness. There is no Green Belt, and land around the Humber estuary and in Holderness is often in high flood risk zones, which strongly influences where housing can go. Sites typically include edge-of-town and village land, farm buildings and former commercial or port-related land in Hull.
What land do we want in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
A proposal to designate the Yorkshire Wolds as a new National Landscape was submitted to the Secretary of State in September 2026 and awaits a decision. The Holderness coast is one of the fastest-eroding in Europe, so coastal change can rule out sites, while the A63 and M62 corridor links Hull and Goole westwards.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Beverley are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
