Land east of Bilbrook - The 2022 SHMA identifies 30 applicants on the self-build register as of Spring 2022, noting that 10 of these applicants are also on a register within another LPA. This demonstrates a very low level of demand. Bloor Homes considers HC8 provides a justified and proportionate approach to meeting this specific need, which requires the consideration of the Council’s Self Build Register on major developments but falls short of requiring a specific percentage of provision.
