New figures reveal that UK-wide self build planning
applications in 2014 have decreased by 28% compared to 2008. Data show that
16,792 self build planning applications were submitted in the first three
quarters of 2008, which has steadily declined year on year to 12,159 in 2014.
As part of the Government's on-going policy to increase the number of available
homes, new measures were announced in the 2014 Budget to increase the amount of
self build projects. These include a £150 million loan fund to help bring
forward thousands of 'shovel ready' building plots and a proposed 'right to
build' policy, giving custom builders the right to a suitable plot of land for
self build housing, which is currently being pioneered in 11 areas across the
country. Read more on the PR Newswire website.
