Small, concrete actions that compound. Each one helps build the case for self-build in Wigan.
Joining the register records real demand for self-build in Wigan. 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 Wigan — 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, 83 people have registered interest in self-build in Wigan. The council has permitted 68 plots in that time.
Of those registrations, 83 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 1 plots — Period 7 (2022).
The case for action
The council is legally required to grant enough plot permissions to meet that demand. In the last 12 months, only 6 were granted.
