Is your land in Bridlington the kind we want?
In the countryside around Bridlington, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. Sitting about 19 miles north-east of Beverley, Bridlington is within the East Riding of Yorkshire, with Driffield and Hornsea close by.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Modern agricultural buildings that may suit Class Q (England)
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
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
Protected species
Bats and barn owls are common in rural buildings and need surveys at the right time of year.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 127 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
