The Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 places a duty on the council to keep a register of individuals and community groups, who have expressed an interest in acquiring ‘serviced land' to bring forward self-build and custom-build housing projects.

This register will help inform the council of the level of demand for self-build and custom build plots in Hertsmere Borough and eventually enable the council to develop a strategy for matching people to plots in their area.

There is no commitment to build when you join the register and equally there is no commitment from the council to provide self-build or custom build plots.
