What land without planning permission we want near Hedon
Plenty of land around Hedon has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place. Sitting about 12 miles south-east of Beverley, Hedon is within the East Riding of Yorkshire, with Kingston upon Hull and Beverley close by.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
- Land of any size, including single plots
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
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.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
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.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Hedon are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 109 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
Can I keep using the land while planning is sought?
Usually, yes. Farming, grazing or other current uses can generally continue until completion, subject to what we agree.

Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Hedon 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.
