Decision details

Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Register (Decision to be taken)

Decision Maker: Leader, Cabinet Member Planning and Regeneration

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Council is required to keep a register of persons seeking to acquire land to build a home within its area. The legacy planning authorities of Buckinghamshire maintained separate self-build registers and so there is a need to consolidate a new approach for BC. The Council has a duty to meet the demand on the register. As such, a local connection test is recommended to focus the register on local needs. Administration fees will further focus registrants with a genuine interest in settling/remaining in Buckinghamshire.

Decision:

Recommendation:    

 

That the Leader agrees to implement a single Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding (SBC) Register, incorporating a local connection test and administration fees.
