NaCSBA Commentary:
Data Notice: Fees are charged for joining and / or remaining on the Register. This has the effect of reducing the numbers on the Register overall and the duty on the Council. NPPG sets out the requirements when introducing that a Council should follow for such a restriction to be implemented and operated. Most Councils do not charge a fee.
Data Notice: a Local Connection Test (LCT) is in place. This has the effect of reducing the numbers on the Register overall and the duty on the Council. NPPG sets out the requirements on a LCT that a Council should follow for such a restriction to be implemented and operated. Most Councils have not implemented a LCT.
Livedin Commentary:
The figures presented by local authorities to central government — and shown here — do not always reflect the full picture of self-build plot supply and demand on the ground. This is often due to a combination of factors: evolving government guidance since the legislation was introduced, variations in how registers are managed (such as removal of applicants), and differences in how local authorities count planning consents that meet the statutory tests.
Livedin has deep experience in interpreting and interrogating these datasets, and we regularly find important nuances that are not immediately visible from headline figures alone. If you are considering a particular site or area, we may be able to provide a more detailed analysis of the true supply and demand position — which can often be a critical foundation for making a strong planning case.
