Getting it right in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Rights over garage courts in the East Riding of Yorkshire can be complicated. Tenants may hold licences or leases with notice terms, individual garages may have been sold off, and neighbours may have rights of way to back gates, some arising from long use rather than written on the title. The owner of the lane may not be the owner of the garages. We map all of this before drawing a layout, so the scheme works around existing rights.
Planning authorities covering the East Riding of Yorkshire include East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Hull City Council.
How it works
Free site appraisal
We look at the site on maps, the title plan and the planning history, then talk through who uses it now. If it looks workable we visit. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Rights and title review
We map who has rights over the court and lane, which garages are let and on what terms, and whether any covenants, charges or strips of land you don’t own could block a scheme.
Site checks and layout
We look at the access lane, the buildings, likely asbestos and contamination, drains and neighbours’ windows, then sketch what could realistically fit, from one home to a small group, or nothing at all.
Choose your route
Sell the site outright or subject to planning, grant an option, or keep it and have us design, get planning for and build. Garage tenancies and licences are ended properly before any work starts.
Planning, then sale or build
We prepare and submit the application and the council decides. If you sell, your solicitor handles the transfer. If you build, a written quote follows design and survey, then demolition and construction.

Questions about garage courts and yards in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Do you look at garage courts and yards in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
We do. Garage courts and yards anywhere in the East Riding of Yorkshire are covered, as is the rest of England and Wales. Share the site address, some photos and how the garages are used today, and a free desktop review follows before we suggest meeting on site.
Do fire and drainage rules limit garage sites in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
They can. The lane and layout have to provide for fire engine access (or other measures, often sprinklers, agreed with building control and the fire service where a fire engine can’t get close enough), and for drainage you’ll need a drainage plan the council will want to see. On a tight court those two requirements can decide how many homes fit, so we check them before fixing any layout.
Could I keep my garage site in the East Riding of Yorkshire and have homes built on it?
Yes. Keeping the site and having us design the homes, seek planning and build them is one route. The other is to sell: outright, subject to planning, or through an option. A free appraisal of the site comes first, and we explain how each route would work for you.
Can you build a new home in my garden in the East Riding of Yorkshire for me to keep?
Yes. Through our design and build route we survey your plot, design a new home with you, apply for planning and, once permission is granted, build it. You keep the land and the new home, to sell, let or use for family. You get a written quote after design and survey, and any earlier guide price is a guide only.
