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.
Checks we make on sites with lapsed or refused planning in Kingston upon Hull
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
The East Riding of Yorkshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Kingston upon Hull are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 105 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

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.

Is Kingston upon Hull too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 105 miles from Kingston upon Hull, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
