There is the potential for unscrupulous promoters to use a definition of self-build for their site as it is believed that there is a greater likelihood of gaining planning permission. Once permission is obtained, we believe the developer would have no qualms in reverting to open market housing. There must be safeguards on SB sites so that, should no-one wish to buy the plot for self build, the developer cannot just sell-on the plot for open market housing.

I agree with limited self build opportunities within settlements, but must be guaranteed that this isn't used as a loophole for developers to build small scale and swiftly sell on.
I would not agree with any building adjacent to/on the edge of settlements on greenbelt or Cotswold National landscape as this could further weaken the protection of the greenbelt and add to urban sprawl and the destruction of the natural environment.
I can't see why having plots distributed throughout a settlement would be disharmonious it could be a welcome touch of character to the uniform and unimaginative housing currently being built.

The best way to deliver self and custom build homes to meet identified needs is to allocate specific sites designed to cater for such homes. Sites will be smaller by their nature, and therefore more responsive to market demand and more likely to be attractive to those wishing to develop their own homes. Larger sites can only efficiently be developed by the major housebuilders, and the inclusion of self and custom build within their developments can create health and safety and operational difficulties when homes in areas are being built by multiple developers to different timescales and standards.

Respondent: Godwin Developments

Godwin Developments acknowledge the requirement for custom and self-build housing plots. It is understood that both Warwick District and Stratford-on-Avon District Council have both published reports which highlight the demand and need for such sites.

The requirement of 5% on “large developments” of 100 dwellings or more is acknowledged. However, Godwin Developments would note caution if this approach is going to be apportioned to the Strategic Growth Locations. Within the specific context of Godwin Developments land interest at Aylesbury Road, whilst this site forms part of a larger SGL, it is contended that it can be developed independently for approximately 30-40 units. In this scenario, provision of custom build and self-build plots may not be suitable to this particular site.

We agree with the general approach for the provision custom and self-build housing plots in order help to diversify the housing market and increase consumer choice in accordance with NPPF Paragraph 63. However, a draft SWLP policy requirement for 5% of the developable area for large developments (100 or more dwellings) to be made available for the provision of self-build and custom-build homes, may lead to an over-supply of this housing tenure - far greater than the level of need identified on the Council’s Register for the past few years. Therefore, greater flexibility is required in the policy wording

The most effective way to secure the delivery of Self and Custom Build (SCB) homes to meet identified needs is to allocate specific sites designed to cater for such homes. This will ensure a positively prepared plan which is effective and deliverable in accordance with NPPF tests of soundness 36(a) and (c). Makestone Strategic Land’s site at Hampton Lucy can provide a readily available and feasible site for the SWLP to allocate self and custom build homes, in a location which will be desirable those seeking an individual plot.

The draft policy provision in respect of large developments (110+ dwellings) should be discretionary not a requirement since most self-builders are unlikely to want a site being built by a volume housebuilder.

Those suggested changes would be consistent with the results of earlier consultation outcomes.

Notwithstanding the above, the land east of Station Lane could be an ideal site, at least in part, for Custom and Self Building Housing. The allocation of land to the east of Station Road, Kingswood help would ensure that the Council is making adequate provision for Custom and Self Building Housing, as required.

The draft policy states, "Within all large developments (100 or more dwellings):
5% of the developable area of a site is to be made available for the provision of self-build and custom-build homes."

This provision should be discretionary not a requirement since most self-builders are unlikely to want a site being built by a volume housebuilder.

Also, suggested re-word from "On suitable sites adjacent to defined settlement boundaries to meet a district-wide need." to "On suitable sites adjacent to existing settlements to meet a district-wide need.

If there is a pressing housing need then speed is of the essence and often self builds take far too long. The delay in construction effectively reduces available housing therefore the proportion for self builds as part of other developments should be reduced.
