EXPLANATORY NOTE

These regulations bring into force the provisions of the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (c.17) that are not yet in force on 1st April 2016. Section 6 of the Act commenced on Royal Assent. The remaining provisions are sections 1 to 5 of, and the Schedule to, the Act. The Act places duties on certain public authorities to keep a register of individuals and associations of individuals who are seeking to acquire serviced plots of land in the authority’s area in order to bring forward self-build and custom housebuilding projects, and to have regard to that register in carrying out their planning and other functions. The Schedule to the Act enables the making of Regulations that make provision in relation to registers.
