Custom Build

Due to national policy changes, local authorities are now including more obligations for developers to include custom build plots within their developments. Nottingham architects Julian Owen Associates have a long history of working with self builders to create their own homes, usually with a professional team including building contractors. Custom build is being actively promoted by national government, where developers are obliged by local councils to provide individual plots for self builders, often as part of larger housing developments. Julian Owen is a member of the government’s Right to Build Task Force, which specialises in advising local councils on how to comply with the planning rules and fulfil their obligations under the legislation. As house developers start to be obliged to provide custom build plots, Julian Owen Associates are well-placed to assist them to work with the particular requirements of self builders.
