Is your land in Beverley the kind we want?
If a scheme near Beverley was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. As the county town of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Beverley anchors the area we cover here, along with Kingston upon Hull, Brough and Driffield.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
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.

Frequently asked in the East Riding of Yorkshire
My permission lapsed years ago. Is it still relevant?
Yes. An old permission shows the principle was once accepted, though current policy now applies.

Do you buy sites with lapsed or refused planning in Beverley?
Yes. We buy sites with lapsed or refused planning 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Beverley?
As Beverley is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
