UK's First Self-Build Community to Fast-Track New Homes

Plans for the nation's first ever dedicated large-scale self building community have been given the green light by Grant Shapps.  Mr Shapps announced a wide package for aspiring self builders, offering exclusive access to £30 million funding and Government-owned land to help them turn their housebuilding dreams into a reality.  The move is part of wider efforts to help double the size of the self-build sector. The Minister named seven sites across the country being set aside specifically for groups of people looking to work together to build their own homes. These sites, together with many more opportunities being identified by local authorities, will create hundreds of new self build opportunities across the country.  Read more on the CLG website.
