Small sites wanted in Goole
Development Land Wanted buys small sites in Goole and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
A small site is usually land for fewer than ten homes, such as a corner plot, a side garden or a small field. Larger housebuilders often overlook them, but small sites are exactly the kind of land we want across England and Wales.

What small sites we want near Goole
Small sites in and around Goole are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Goole is in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about 21 miles south-west of Beverley. Nearby places include Thorne, Selby and Scunthorpe.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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 Goole are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 90 miles from Goole, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, affordable housing is generally sought on major development of ten or more homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes from a single home.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.

Yes. We buy small sites in Goole 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.
