What land without planning permission we want near Beverley
Plenty of land around Beverley has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place. Beverley is the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Nearby places we also cover include Kingston upon Hull, Brough and Driffield.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
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 Beverley works
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Beverley are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 109 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in the East Riding of Yorkshire
What if planning is refused?
That depends on the deal. Under a conditional contract we can usually decide whether to appeal, re-apply or walk away; if we walk away you keep your land.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Do you buy land without planning permission in Beverley?
Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Beverley and throughout the East Riding of Yorkshire, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
How quickly can you look at a site in Beverley?
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.
