What sites with lapsed or refused planning we want near Hedon
If a scheme near Hedon was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. Hedon lies about 12 miles south-east of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire. We also cover Kingston upon Hull, Beverley, Hornsea and the villages between them.
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
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 usually makes or breaks it
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
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 Hedon are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 109 miles from Hedon, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
