Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Beverley
In Beverley, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. 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.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
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.
Checks we make on commercial and industrial sites in Beverley
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 109 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Beverley ask
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Is permitted development an option?
In England, some commercial-to-residential changes can use prior approval. Whether it applies depends on the use, the building and local restrictions.
Is Beverley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 109 miles from Beverley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
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.
