Representation Summary:

Limited supporting text referring to Self Build and Custom Housing Act 2015. Support requirement for all residential schemes of 200+ homes to provide self and custom build service plots. Concern over requirement for 2% of market units provided on strategic scale housing sites (ambiguity on what is meant by strategic scale housing sites). Difficult to integrate self / custom build products on more modest sites (particularly higher densities), as opportunity to introduce self / builders / specialist custom build developers problematic. May result in lower density housing. Requirement for self / custom build products on sites of less than 200 homes might only serve to hamper delivery.

Change suggested by respondent:

Confine self/custom build plots to strategic scale housing sites of 200 or more (whether allocated or speculative). Exclude reference to smaller sites other than to encourage allocation via Neighbourhood Plan policies.
