FROM THE EDITOR...
We would like to say a warm welcome back to Selfbuilder + Homemaker after what has been a daunting few months for the country, and a challenging time for all media businesses like ours. However we have managed to remain in good health thanks to strong industry support – particularly when it comes to our online offers such as newsletters (which you can subscribe to at
www.sbhonline.co.uk).
Did you know that 30 October was Right to Build Day? The NACSBA (National Custom and Self Build Association) has been doing its best to promote the event over the year since it launched in 2019, to celebrate the day that councils had to complete enough self-build planning permissions to meet their local demand. However, maintaining the presence of this occasion in the self-build nation’s minds will have been a challenge in the current environment.
To coincide with this year’s event, the Right to Build Taskforce has launched a suite of guidance with the aim being “to ensure consistent good practice in the delivery of custom and self-build homes and in particular the Right to Build legislation.” It aims to fill “identified gaps” in what is currently available and to provide a clear steer in areas where “different practice is being observed.
With a recent survey by Ipswich Building Society revealing that 35 per cent of UK adults want to undertake a self-build, it’s imperative that councils help out – and help us catch up with the rest of Europe.
