Waverley self-build and custom housebuilding register
The Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 requires the Council to keep a register of individuals and associations of individuals who are seeking to acquire serviced plots of land in Waverley for their own self-build and custom housebuilding.
Self-build housing is when someone directly organises the design and construction of their new home, while custom build housing is typically defined as when someone commissions a specialist developer to help to deliver their own home.
Any proposals for self-build or custom-build housing will require a formal planning application and will be subject to all relevant planning policies. We have a Pre-Application Planning Advice service which we encourage you to use if you would like to discuss your self-build or custom-build proposal with us.
We will use the Register to inform us about the level of demand for self-build and custom build plots in the borough so we can plan to meet this need. Entering the register does not guarantee that a suitable plot will be identified or made available to applicants. We are not obliged to find plots that match your specific requirements so you may have to undertake your own research to identify a suitable plot.
Parts 1 & 2 of the Register
The Register is divided into Part 1 and Part 2. Individuals or associations who apply for entry on the Register and meet all the eligibility criteria will be entered on Part 1. Those who meet all the eligibility criteria except for the local connection test will be entered on Part 2 of the Register.
We have a legal duty to give planning permission for enough suitable serviced plots of land to meet the demand for self-build and custom housebuilding in Waverley. The level of demand is established by the number of entries added to Part 1 of the Register during a base period. At the end of each base period, we have 3 years in which to give an equivalent number of planning permissions to plots of land, which are suitable for self-build and custom housebuilding, as there are entries for that base period. Please note this is not a duty however to provide a plot directly to each individual on the register.
a British citizen, a national of an EEA state other than the UK or a national of Switzerland; and
For entry onto Part 1 of the Register individual applicants and every member of an association must also meet at least one criteria of the local connection test.
An entry fee of £30 is payable for first time applications.
An annual fee of £15 will be payable on 31 October each year for those wishing to remain on Part 1 of the Register. Please note that the Part 1 renewal fee is due annually on 31 October irrespective of the date an applicant initially joins the register.

If you are a couple or members of the same household, please apply as an individual applicant and nominate one person as the ‘lead contact’ whose name and address will be included in the register.
If you are applying on behalf of an association (a group of people who wish to secure several plots for self or custom housebuilding) you will need to give details of eligibility (name, address, date of birth and nationality) for each member of the association.
