DECISION TAKEN

RESOLVED:
(unanimous)
Cabinet agreed to delegate
authority to the Assistant Director, Planning, in consultation with
the Executive Member for Planning, to update the Guidance Note, if
required.
 
Reason for the decision
The Self-Build
and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 places a duty on local planning
authorities to keep a register of individuals and associations of
individuals who wish to acquire serviced plots of land for
self-build and custom housebuilding projects, and to have regard to
these registers when carrying out planning and other functions. The
guidance note sets out the Council’s expectations in terms of
design, access and phasing and will provide information to
potential purchasers of plots as to what they should expect from
developers in terms of plots being offered to the market and
information to be provided.
