Policy DM5 Self-build and Custom Housebuilding
Policy DM5 requires all sites of 5 or more dwellings to include provision of plots for self-build and custom housing as part of an appropriate mix of housing.
Gladman broadly support the inclusion of a policy in respect of self-build and custom-build housing in line with current government thinking and objectives. We consider it essential, however, that the policy wording rather than the supporting text should state that once a self-build and/or custom-build plot has been marketed for 12 months but failed to sell, it will revert to consideration by the Council to be built out as conventional market housing.
