Self-build Housing List

Self-build Housing

Self-build housing is where an individual (whether acting alone or with other individuals) commissions or is personally involved in the design and construction of a dwelling that is intended to be the individual's main residence once it is built.

The self-build list covers the following types of self-build:

Self-build housing - where a person builds their own house or appoints their own builder

Custom-build housing - where a person tasks a house builder to tailor a home to their preferences before it is built

Collective self-build - where a group get together to build their homes

Co-Housing - an intentional, mutually-supportive community with shared communal space

Self-provided housing - includes self-build housing, custom-build housing and collective build housing

Read our Self-build Guidance here.

More information on self-build housing can also be found on the council website here.

Self-build List

The Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 (Section 16E) requires Local Planning Authorities to "prepare and maintain" a list of anyone interested in acquiring land for self-build across the authority's area.

The Self build list can be viewed here.
