Self-build Housing in Ribble Valley
We are working to find out how much interest there is in self-build housing across Ribble Valley.
To do this we maintain a register of individuals and groups of individuals who want to build or have their own home built. In addition to this we are inviting landowners and communities to identify sites within or adjoining towns, villages and rural settlements, which may be suitable for self-build housing.
supported community self-build group: a social landlord or the Community Self Build Agency helps you build a group of homes together. More information about this can be found on their website www.communityselfbuildagency.org.uk.
In addition you should meet our local connection criteria below to be placed on Part 1 of the register:
Currently living in the Borough for more than 10 years;
Currently living in the Borough and have done so continually for between 5 to 10 years;
Currently living in the Borough and have done so continually for a minimum of 12 months;
Currently permanently employed in the Borough for a minimum of 12 months and are employed for a minimum of 18 hours per week paid or unpaid; or

Persons who are former residents of the Borough who have moved away from the Borough because of a lack of affordable housing in the Borough.
