Where Hedon sits

Hedon (HU12) sits in OS grid square TA12, about 6 miles east of Kingston upon Hull. Sites between here and Kingston upon Hull or Grimsby are just as much of interest to us.

Open arable farmland on the Wolds and in Holderness, with low-lying land beside the Humber where flood risk shapes what can be built.

Brownfield sites often carry baggage: contamination, old foundations, tricky neighbours. They're also some of the best places for new homes, and policy generally supports their reuse.

The things that move our offer

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.

Existing use value

If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.

Flood risk

Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Hedon

Do you buy contaminated land?

Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.

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.
