Small, concrete actions that compound. Each one helps build the case for self-build in Southwark.
Joining the register records real demand for self-build in Southwark. Councils are obliged to grant enough permissions for serviced plots to meet that demand — every registration counts.
Get notified when new plots come up in Southwark — and signal to landowners and the council that these plots matter, helping build momentum.
The creation of plots always starts with landowners. Small landowners are often the easiest to work with. Reach out to your network and get talking.
Since 2016, 285 people have registered interest in self-build in Southwark. The council has permitted 21 plots in that time.
Of those registrations, 285 are on Part 1 (where the legal duty to grant permissions applies) and 0 are on Part 2 (subject to local eligibility tests).
That leaves an outstanding deficit of 252 plots — Period 7 (2022).
