The small sites that interests us around Kingston upon Hull
In Kingston upon Hull, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood. Kingston upon Hull is in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about 8 miles south-east of Beverley. Nearby places include Hedon, Beverley and Brough.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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 decides whether a site in Kingston upon Hull works
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
BNG (England)
From 6 August 2026 non-major sites of 0.2 ha or less are generally exempt from mandatory BNG unless priority habitat is affected.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 105 miles from Kingston upon Hull, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
