I would welcome the emphasis given to self- building in providing wider options for home buyers. I also welcome the desire to allocate small allocations and unallocated sites – but not simply as part of large sites. Self-builders do not tend to wish to live on large strategic sites – nor do they naturally fit within large ‘industrial scale’ housing schemes. Furthermore, the building styles, construction methods, timescales and working hours do not correspond between the two. This approach seems merely to be a simple way of accommodating large numbers of self-build homes to demonstrate they are meeting their register requirements. The Councils need to think again and allocate a large number of smaller sites in places more suited to self-builders. This policy needs to be re-written.
