We do not agree with the proposed sliding scale for delivery of self-build and custom build housing because
we consider this is not consistent with the NPPF paragraph 62. Under section 1 of the Self Build and Custom
Housebuilding Act 2015, local authorities are required to keep a register of those seeking to acquire serviced
plots in the area for their own self-build and custom house building. A blanket policy comprising a sliding
scale of provision such as Policy SB1 is not evidence-based and hence would not be sound. There is no
explanation as to the forecasted delivery under the sliding scale and how this might compare to evidence of
need for self-build and custom housing.
