Evidence exists, though it needs to be refreshed, to suggest that there is a need for custom and self-build plots within South Warwickshire, and as such a policy relating to the delivery of such plots would be justified and supported in principle.

The policy states that 5% of the developable area of a site must be made available for custom and self-build on schemes comprising 100 dwellings or more. It is considered that this should be amended to provide flexibility; self-build plots should be delivered in line with the identified need, and provision will be made elsewhere, as noted in the policy, on allocated self-build sites, and windfall sites too. It is important to note that other types of housing need must equally be met within South Warwickshire, and areas of sites should not be sterilised and prevented from delivering other forms of housing which will contribute towards meeting a different need, in a location which may be more appropriate for this than for self-build, or for which there may be a greater demand. Reference could be made to a trigger for the release of self-build plots if there is no demand for these.
