Self Build Register 2020
Home > Planning > Planning Policy and Regeneration > Regeneration and Development Opportunities > Self Build Register 2020
The Self Build register for Dover has recently undergone a review and the results have indicated that more information is required from registrants on their local connection to the district and their financial capability to carry out a Self Build.
To inform the Council on these issues and in accordance with The Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Register) Regulations 2016. We are requesting all existing members to re-register, confirm their local connection to Dover District and their financial capacity to carry out a Self Build. Everyone who re-registers will have their interest back dated to their initial registration. To cover the administration costs of the register, all existing and new registrants will be required to pay a £30 registration fee and then after, a £15 annual renewal fee from the first of March (2021 onwards) after registration.
Those who meet the local connection and financial capacity requirements and have paid the registration fees will be placed on part 1 of the register. All persons interested in Self Build but not meeting those requirements and have paid the registration fee will be placed on part 2 of the register. Part 1 of the register will then inform the Council of its the Self Build need.
If the application is eligible, with both the Local Connectivity and Financial Capacity Tests having been processed, we will make an entry on Part 1 of the register. If applicants are only registering an interest in Self-Build and do not meet the requirements for Part 1 they will be placed on Part 2 of the register.
If the application is not eligible, we will write to you to explain the reasons within 28 days of determining the application. If the application is from an association, we will only notify the lead contact as identified in the application
