Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in Goole
If a scheme near Goole was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. Goole lies about 21 miles south-west of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire. We also cover Thorne, Selby, Scunthorpe and the villages between them.

- 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.
Before we make an offer in Goole
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Goole are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning in Goole: common questions
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.
My permission lapsed years ago. Is it still relevant?
Yes. An old permission shows the principle was once accepted, though current policy now applies.
Is Goole too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 90 miles from Goole, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Goole assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
