Self and Custom Build Housing 4.49
Local Plan policy H1 part 13, states that the Council will support Self and Custom Build developments for residential accommodation in appropriate locations, in the interests of supporting high quality homes which meet the identified needs of Spelthorne. The Council will negotiate a mix of plots, informed by its self-build and custom housebuilding register.
4.50
Under policy H2, affordable housing is not sought from minor developments of less than 10 units, and so will not apply for smaller developments involving Self and Custom Build housing. For major developments where self and custom build housing is provided as part of the market housing within the scheme, the affordable housing requirements under policy H2 will apply. The custom and self build homes will be counted as market housing when assessing the level of affordable housing required and the estimated revenue and costs should be taken into account in any Financial Viability Assessment (“FVA”) submitted.
