How we arrive at a figure for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Demolition
Removing buildings and old foundations is a significant cost on many sites.
Brownfield register
Inclusion on the council's brownfield land register can support permission in principle.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Viability
Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.
Four routes to a sale
If your site has sat empty because it looks too complicated, we'll investigate the ground and planning position and give you a straight offer.
Outright purchase
We take on the site and its problems for an agreed price.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.
Option agreements
Can suit larger brownfield sites with a longer planning route.
Joint ventures
Worth discussing if you want to share in the regeneration value.

Rules that apply in England
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Brownfield first
National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.
Awkward details we deal with
You're worried about contamination liability
Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.
A previous buyer pulled out after surveys
We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.
Useful to send us

- A rough size, in acres or hectares
