Issue details

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.
