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 infill plots in Hornsea
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 118 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Hornsea ask
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
Do small infill sites need biodiversity net gain?
In England, from 6 August 2026 most non-major sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt from mandatory BNG, unless priority habitat is affected. Wales uses a different approach.
Is Hornsea too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 118 miles from Hornsea, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Hornsea?
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.
