4. What is Self and Custom Build?
Representation ID: 4269
Received: 21/03/2025
Respondent: East Suffolk Council
We recommend you consider setting out your expectations in the document around the level of customisation that custom build homes should meet. This will provide a useful benchmark for assessing proposals for custom build homes, particularly those seeking to fulfil GNLP policy 5. Developers may have different expectations to those of the Local Planning Authority as to the level of customisation a custom build home should provide. This SPD is a great opportunity to help address this.

Representation ID: 4270
Received: 21/03/2025
Respondent: East Suffolk Council
7.2 – In addition to including a reference to custom or self-build in the description, it may be useful to highlight any additional sections of the planning application, or requirements for additional information, applicants might be required to provide. The example standard conditions and legal agreements should be included in the SPD as an appendix.

7.3 – The link for more information on nutrient neutrality goes to the general ‘Planning application advice’ section. It may be more useful for the link to go directly to the ‘Nutrient neutrality’ section.

7.4 - The link for more information on other considerations goes to the general ‘Planning application advice’ section. It may be more useful for the link to go directly to sections specifically relating to BNG and GIRAMS.
7.6 – More clarity on how BNG exempt planning applications need to be clear as to how they meet the definition of custom and self-build may be of use to potential applicants.

8.10 – for a more consistent ‘flow’ within the document, later paragraphs specifically referred to in another paragraph should ideally follow the paragraph referencing them.

8.25 – As per previous comment, clarifying the eligibility criteria within the paragraph may aid the reader, rather than referencing an earlier section.

11. Phasing
Representation ID: 4277

Respondent: East Suffolk Council
11.2 – Where it states “…then any commencement of the development would result in the loss of potential CIL exemption…” it would be helpful to expand and clarify what could be considered as commencement, such as the delivery of infrastructure on a site, which could trigger commencement across the whole development (where multiple plots are proposed).

13. Marketing Strategy
Representation ID: 4278

Respondent: East Suffolk Council
13.4 – We recommend that you set out your expectations for how a serviced plot for sale should be valued to help avoid and disagreements between parties in this respect.
13.5 – Paragraph is suggestive but not explicit. Would the councils be looking for a phased marketing strategy in this instance?
