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 decides whether a site in Kingston upon Hull works
Access width
The drive or road into the plot must be safe for cars, bins and emergency vehicles.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
Mortgage consent
If your home is mortgaged, the lender will usually need to release the garden land.
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.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Kingston upon Hull are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.

Garden and backland plots in Kingston upon Hull: common questions
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
What if my mortgage lender says no?
Lenders usually agree where the sale reduces the debt or the remaining security is adequate. We build time for this into the process.
Is Kingston upon Hull too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 105 miles from Kingston upon Hull, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Kingston upon Hull 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.
