What land with planning permission we want near Brough
For consented land around Brough, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Brough is in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about 10 miles south-west of Beverley. Nearby places include Kingston upon Hull, Beverley and Scunthorpe.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Permissions that are close to their time limit to start work
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
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 Brough works
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 99 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
