The diversification of our housing market is central to building more homes
“We need to build between 225,000 to 275,000 or more homes per year to keep up with population growth and start to tackle years of under-supply”
“…we will diversify the housing market, opening it up to smaller builders and those who embrace innovative and efficient methods”.
“Alongside smaller firms the Government wants to support the growth of custom build homes”.

What are Custom and Self Build homes?
Self Build• People directly organise the
design and construction of their homes
• Very few actually do the main construction work
Custom Build• Working with a specialist
developer or ‘enabler’ to deliver the home
• Many offer ready-to-go serviced plots
• Less risk/faster
Usually single homes, but both approaches can be used by groups of people working together
![Page 4: Mario Wolf, Director of the Right to Build Task Force. Changing t… · Some numbers about Custom and Self Build housing nationally* • 13,000 - homes built in 2016 (5% year-on-year](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fde80a4c140967ef661d31a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Is there demand?
• 53% of adults in UK want to build their own home
• 24% increase in single new home permissions in 2016
• Over a million want to buy a site and start in next 12 months
• A quarter of them like the idea of working together as a group
• Strong interest in plots that form part of a larger development
Over 33,000 people registered on local registers (Oct ‘17) –even though 80% of people don’t know about them!

Introducing “The Right to Build”
![Page 11: Mario Wolf, Director of the Right to Build Task Force. Changing t… · Some numbers about Custom and Self Build housing nationally* • 13,000 - homes built in 2016 (5% year-on-year](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fde80a4c140967ef661d31a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is “The Right to Build”?
• New legal duty on Councils since April 2016
• Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015:• keep and publicise a Register of people who want to self/custom build; • have regard to Register when exercising planning, housing, land disposal,
regeneration functions
• Housing and Planning Act 2016:• duty on Councils to meet demand on Register by granting ‘development permissions’
for enough serviced plots to meet demand on rolling annual basis
![Page 12: Mario Wolf, Director of the Right to Build Task Force. Changing t… · Some numbers about Custom and Self Build housing nationally* • 13,000 - homes built in 2016 (5% year-on-year](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022071104/5fde80a4c140967ef661d31a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Duty supported by the National Planning Policy Framework
Councils should assess demand and plan to meet demand for people who want to build their own homes
(draft revised Framework strengthens this further)
