Wanted in Hedon

Development land wanted in Hedon

Own land in Hedon that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

In the East Riding of Yorkshire, Hedon sits about 12 miles south-east of Beverley; Kingston upon Hull and Beverley are its nearest neighbours on our list. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 109 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

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.

Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.

The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Hedon are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.

Land we want in Hedon

Edge-of-town meadow with timber survey stakes and orange marker pegs, houses along the far boundary

Residential development land

In and around Hedon we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place.

Vacant fenced development plot with a council planning notice tied to a lamp post and terraced houses beyond

Land with planning permission

For consented land around Hedon, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission.

Land without planning permission

Near Hedon, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan.

Cleared former industrial yard with cracked concrete, a palisade fence and an old brick warehouse wall

Brownfield land

Former works, depots and yards in and around Hedon can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood.

Overgrown empty plot between two Edwardian semi-detached houses on a suburban street

Infill plots

Infill gaps in Hedon's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours.

Long rear gardens behind 1930s semi-detached houses with a gravel access lane along the bottom

Garden and backland plots

In parts of Hedon with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly.

Horse paddock with post-and-rail fencing and a field gate on the edge of a village at evening

Farmland and paddocks

Fields that wrap around the edges of Hedon and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about.

Larger landholdings on the approaches to Hedon are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links.

Corner plot of rough grass at a suburban road junction with houses along both roads

Small sites

We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Hedon, including ones a larger builder has already turned down.

Vacant single-storey industrial units with grey roller shutters and an empty tarmac forecourt

Commercial and industrial sites

We look at yards and units across Hedon where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses.

Disused two-storey 1960s brick office building with an empty weed-cracked car park among houses

Redundant buildings

Redundant buildings in Hedon often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites.

Barns and rural buildings

We look at barns and rural yards around Hedon and give a straight view on whether conversion or replacement is realistic.

Row of lock-up garages with faded up-and-over doors around a tarmac court behind 1960s houses

Garage courts and yards

We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Hedon, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty.

Overgrown fenced plot with brambles and saplings behind a weathered hoarding between houses

Sites with lapsed or refused planning

Sites around Hedon with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed.

Allocated and promoted land

Around Hedon, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage.
