| About this page |
The Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (as amended by the Housing and Planning Act 2016) places a Duty upon the Local Planning Authority to give suitable development permission to enough suitable serviced plots of land to meet the demand for self-build and custom housebuilding in their area. The level of demand is established by reference to the number of entries added to the Register during a base period (starting from 31 October each year), supported as necessary by additional data from secondary sources. At the end of each base period, a Council has 3 years in which to grant permission for an equivalent number of plots of land, which are suitable for self-build and custom housebuilding, as there are entries for that base period. Monitoring of planning applications has found that 59 plot permissions have been granted for self or custom build housing between 31st October 2024 and 30th October 2025 (base period 10). The table below provides an overview of the demand and supply situation since 2016. It shows that there is a shortfall of self and custom build permissions to meet the demand on the register at 30th October 2025.
