no.
1 permits development outside a settlement boundary
2 enables unscrupulous developers to sell-on a site for market housing after 12 months by demonstrating no demand for self build.
Suggest that a developer should prove there is the demand and commitment for a specific site/location prior to putting in a planning application and that any consent falls away after 12 months if no building work has commenced in that time
3 carries no mechanism for proof that the self build will be occupied by the “self builder” or stipulate a minimum period of time that it must be so occupied
