While there is cleraly a need to make provision for self and custom build most housing allocations will be taken up by volume house builders. There is no mechanism put forward to explain how the Council will definitely ensure that appropriate parts of those sites will be specifically allocated for this purpose. Realistically volume house builders will earnestly resist having to provide sites for self or custom building.
Each allocation should include a specific requirement for the developer to allocate land for those purposes and to facilitate those that wish to build houses that way.
