What will we do with the register

We must give suitable development permission to enough suitable serviced plots of land to meet the demand for self-build and custom housebuilding in the Borough.

The level of demand is established by reference to the number of entries added to this register during a base period.

• Each base period is 12 months, from 31 October to 30 October each year

At the end of each base period, we have three years to give permissions for enough suitable plots of land to meet the demand on the register for that base period.

It should be noted however, that in order to meet this need, the permissions do not have to be given to those listed on the register, there simply need to be enough permissions given to match the number of plots needed on the register.

What is a serviced plot of land

A serviced plot of land is a plot of land that either has access to a public highway and has connections for electricity, water and waste water, or, in our opinion, can be provided with access to those things within the duration of a development permission granted in relation to that land.
