Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Hedon
Looking to sell commercial and industrial sites near Hedon? We assess every site on its merits and explain the options in plain English.

Is your land in Hedon the kind we want?
In Hedon, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. Sitting about 12 miles south-east of Beverley, Hedon is within the East Riding of Yorkshire, with Kingston upon Hull and Beverley close by.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
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.
Before we make an offer in Hedon
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 109 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Hedon ask
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
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.

For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Hedon assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
