About the register
The custom and self-build register is a register of people who are interested in custom or self-build projects in the borough. Keeping this register helps us understand the level of demand for custom and self-build plots. It will help us develop a strategy for matching people to plots in the area. To find out more, or to join the register, please visit our custom and self-build housing page.
