We have no objection in principle with the inclusion of a self/custom build policy requirement on large development sites. Whilst self/custom build is becoming more commonplace, we still have reservations over the appeal
of self/custom build plots that form part of large strategic-scale developments.
Most people looking to construct their own home are likely to want to do so on an individual plot or as part of a small collection of new homes. As such there is little evidence of self/custom build working successfully to boost housing delivery on large sites. We therefore recommend that a cascade mechanism is built into the policy which enables the developer to complete the development if the self/custom build plots do not come forward in a timely manner.
