DM12: Self-build and custom-build houses

The Council will support in principle the development of self and custom-build homes and custom-build projects in suitable locations, where they support the delivery of the Core Strategy and meet all other requirements of the Development Plan for the area. The Council will open a register to help establish the level of need in the Borough, which will also be informed by future reviews of the Strategic Housing Market Assessment. Each application will be determined on its individual merits.

The Council particularly encourages applications from community-based custom-build projects and will use its existing evidence base such as the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment to help applicants to identify suitable sites.
