Whilst IM Land are
supportive of the principle of self and custom build, it is considered a better approach would be to allocate specific smaller sites for up to 5 dwellings for self-build rather than require a proportion of general housing allocations to accommodate this provision. The nature of self and custom build is that it is better related to smaller more individual sites to reflect individual and unique design rather than being part of larger housing developments. NPPG offers other ways local authorities can facilitate self build such as such using LA land or other land suitable for housing in the ownership of other landowners. The Policy is unsound as it may not be effective in delivering suitable self-build and custom
housing. The Policy should be reconsidered.
