Allocated and promoted land wanted in Beverley
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Beverley and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted local plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a call for sites or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Is your land in Beverley the kind we want?
Around Beverley, 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. As the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Beverley anchors the area we cover here, along with Kingston upon Hull, Brough and Driffield.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a call for sites (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
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 usually makes or breaks it
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 109 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Is there an equivalent of a call for sites in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
Do you buy part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Can an agent introduce land in Beverley to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Which planning rules apply to land in Beverley?
As Beverley is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
