What decides the value of brownfield land near Goole
Contamination
Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Flood risk
Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.
Viability
Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.
Four routes to a sale
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.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about brownfield land
What counts as brownfield land?
Land that has been occupied by a permanent structure and its associated fixed surface infrastructure. Some exceptions apply, such as agricultural buildings and residential gardens in built-up areas.
Is it easier to get planning on brownfield land?
National policy in England and Wales gives weight to reusing suitable brownfield land, so the starting point is often positive. Each site is still judged on its merits.
Will you buy a site with tenants?
Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.
Do you buy land in Goole?
Yes. We consider land in and around Goole and across the East Riding of Yorkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
