The Right to Build Portal campaign

Anyone in England can sign up for their Right to Build by signing up to the Right to Build registers, which each local council in England must host. The Right to Build Portal is a free service that will connect you to the registers run by your local councils.

www.righttobuild.org.uk

The industry-facing website of the Right to Build Task Force, which supports a range of stakeholders and community groups to help bring on more custom build housing by offering tailored advice on a chargeable basis. The website has a wealth of free information and advice, as well as news about recent events and news from the Right to Build Task Force, which is a NaCSBA initiative.

Custom and Self Build Demand Assessment Model

The Right to Build Task Force and housing and planning consultancy Three Dragons have developed a model for measuring potential demand for Custom and Self-build at a district or area level for local authorities. This supplements the short-term evidence provided by local Self-build Registers and can be used to inform planning policy, including local plans, and as evidence of demand at Examination.

Help for community groups

Community groups such as cohousing and Community Land Trusts are effectively groups of consumers operating at a professional level as they engage with every element of creating a tailor-made community. Therefore they’ll find information to support them in all of your websites.
