The government wants to help more people build or commission their own homes.
If you organise the design and construction of your own home, it is classed as self build housing.
If you work with a developer, either as an individual or as part of a group, to help create your own home, it is classed as custom build housing.
We keep a register of people who would like to build their own home, to provide an indication of local demand. We use this register to inform and help us set our local policies.

Registration does not guarantee that suitable plots will be made available.
If you are interested in self or custom builds, we suggest the following additional guidance:
