NaCSBA member Leaper Land has submitted a planning application for a 33-home custom and self build site in Hurst to Wokingham Borough Council (application number 213378).
The initial application is for 27 houses and six flats, including 14 affordable units, with two spacious recreational spaces available to the wider community, on the edge of the small village of Hurst. Once the permission in principle is achieved a reserved matters application will be submitted to establish the parameters of the site, set out in the Design Code.
Leaper will then go on to deliver the infrastructure and utilities to create the serviced plots.
Ben Marten, Director of Leaper, commented: “Wokingham has one of the greatest demands for Custom and Self-Build in the UK and there is a substantial shortfall in the provision of serviced plots in the Wokingham borough. The proposal at Hurst would go a long way to helping the Council meet their legal obligation to provide for this demand.”
Large-scale custom build sites
The Hurst scheme is the latest application lodged by Leaper Land for custom and self build homes on serviced plots, including:
22 plot site in Horam, East Sussex
50 plot site for Framlington, East Suffolk
65 home site in Child Okeford, North Dorset
