This is an entirely sensible approach. However, building on Green Belt land should not be permitted unless a local housing needs survey has been carried out assessing the desirability of home build opportunities.

The provision of building plots, particualrly to first time buyers or those already living in the local area where developments take place could provide cost savings to buyers.
That is of course if the developers are required to sell the plots at cost - otherwise they will simply mark up the cost and there is no saving.
The provision of plots to local key workers and armed forces personnel could also provide cost savings and secure retention of these personnel within the local area

Whereas I support the proposed policy great attention should be given to the voice of local communities, especially those who have taken the time and made the effort to have Neighbourhood and Parish Plans.

It must be recognised that registers of interest in self-build can be artificially inflated by site owners and their associates to show a false demand for development unsuited to a local area. Local community support MUST be shown in advance of planning approvals.

Custom-built houses should not be permitted on unallocated land, only those that are truly self-built. We have already seen developers use this loophole to get permission that would otherwise not be granted.,

Where Housing Needs Surveys are out of date or non-existent (including in Green belt and Cotswold landscape areas), the default position should be to grand permission for self and custom build housing within or adjacent to BUABs where there is a district-wide shortfall in such housing.

Too many large houses are springing up on green sites. Lantern House on Chessets Wood Road, or Hedge House on the Kenilworth Road between Knowle and Temple Balsall are prime examples. These are doing nothing to alleviate any housing crisis. Only option H5c with VERY strict conditions should be considered.

The Bearley/Wilmcote site doesn't not provide any opportunities for this type of choice. There are no features within the landscape for parcels of land to be sold for private builds to add character and individuality to a development. This site is not viable.

In principle i agree with draft policy. I question the dictation of on large development sites there has to be a 10% allocation to self build / custom build homes. It is admirable but unrealistic from an individual perspective. People who build individual self build homes tend to do so with the view to create a unique property and not one that is a reflection of those around. Constraints may be ideal for some but not others. How will these plots be allocated / sold and I assume located in one are of the larger development.

However, time scale must be much quicker. Currently in Kenilworth development has been taking place for some 2 years and there are as yet no serviced plots available, we are told until circa 2027. There should be an ongoing supply available each year. There needs to be a strong marketing process to assess demand. The purpose of these Custom and Self Building Housing Plots is for bespoke, innovative homes. Therefore, the design code must rule out the ‘anywhere’ house types that are widely available, and gas should not be provided to encourage low carbon designs.

In large developments and growth areas some land should be set aside for custom and self build to allow opportunities for smaller developers. These should not be free standing exceptional developments.
The custom and self build register needs to be chargeable and rigorously kept up to date.
This Government policy must not be a route for developers to be able to overrule general presumptions against development. This policy debases public confidence in the planning system

Self and custom build development plots are necessary for people with special needs and also to promote the development of innovative, eco-friendly house building techniques and technologies. Doing it on a small scale means minimal impact on local communities, assuming planning process still stops grossly unsuitable plans from being built.

Broadly agree approach - disagree on some details - robust controls needed to prevent creep into open countryside where development would otherwise not be permitted - additional guidance regarding 'suitable' required - plots should be expected to be adjacent to BUAB - 'small scale' requires numerical guidance - welcome policy to require effective remarketing after twelve months but precision and safeguards needed to ensure compliance

Whilst it's great to see this being more clearly defined and allows the opportunity for the council to co-locate these as part of existing planned developments, the spirit of self building, for me, is more about getting the right home and location to suit my family and it's needs. Meaning option H5c would better suit my needs. The biggest barrier being the cost to try the process without clearer guidance about what is acceptable and where. I see gets a little clearer in the proposal but maybe it needs to go a little further to help individuals on this path.
