Respondent: Dacorum Borough Council

We note that Bedford Borough Council have recently implemented Part 2 of the Register. This Council presently maintains only Part 1 although we have recently embarked on a review of our approach to self-build and custom housebuilding which is in its early phases. We broadly support the approach set out in the policy SB1. Our emerging Local Plan proposes in Policy DM8 that on housing developments with 40 or more new houses that 5% of house plots should available as serviced plots to enable the delivery of self and custom build housing. We note the proposed scale of provision in your draft policy SB1 and consider that further elucidation of the criteria used in arriving at the proposed numbers would be helpful both by way of explanation and justification for the numbers.
We hope that you find the above responses constructive in taking forward your emerging Local Plan.
