WPDG supports the delivery of self and custom build homes across South Warwickshire.

Draft Policy B (Providing Custom and Self Building Housing Plots) states that on sites greater than 100 dwellings, “5% of the developable area of a site is to be made available for the provision of self-build and custom-build homes.” It is agreed that a proportion of large-scale sites should deliver plots for custom and self-build. However, the current wording has the potential to place undue pressure on sites with large developable areas, particularly those which may not be delivered as entirely residential.

We recommend the wording is amended to 5% of the plots to be made available rather than of the deliverable area. In our view, the approach is more transparent and indeed places a fair requirement across all sites.
