Strategic land wanted in Hedon
We are actively looking for strategic land in Hedon and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.

What strategic land we want near Hedon
Around Hedon, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. In the East Riding of Yorkshire, Hedon sits about 12 miles south-east of Beverley; Kingston upon Hull and Beverley are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
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 Hedon
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
Station proximity (England)
The August 2026 NPPF gives new support to suitable development within reasonable walking distance of well-connected stations.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 109 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Hedon ask
Do I need to do anything while the land is promoted?
Usually very little beyond signing representations and allowing surveys. You normally keep using the land.
What if my neighbours own part of the best site?
We can help bring owners together under an equalisation arrangement so value is shared fairly, whoever ends up with the roads or open space.
How quickly can you look at a site in Hedon?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Hedon?
As Hedon is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
