The requirement in Policy P4D goes beyond the guidance provided in the PPG which seeks local authorities to "engage" with landowners and "encourage" them to consider self-build and custom housebuilding. There is an over-reliance upon the Self Build Register to justify the requirement, with the criteria for expressing an interest being relatively limited.
The requirement to provide 5% on allocated sites of 100 dwellings or more should be replaced with an ‘encouragement’ to provide self-build on allocated sites of 100 dwellings or more having regard to the latest robust evidence.
Criteria 2 of Policy P4D should make it clear that after the marketing period (which should be less than 12 months), any unsold plots should revert back to the original developer.
Hello,
