3.27. The objective of this policy can only be delivered if there is a reasonable and proportionate distribution of growth along the corridor in desirable places where a need is identified on the Self Build Register. If development is too narrowly focused around the urban area, such as indicated in option 2a, then policy SB1 will result in an over provision of self build plots in and around the urban area. The Government’s objective in bringing in the self-build requirement was for that untapped part of the sector to start making a contribution towards housing delivery.

3.28. This means that self-build plots should be provided where they are wanted, and as the register shows a broad range of desirable locations, if the objectives of SB1 are to be realised, then a commensurate range of sites should be provided.
