The Right To Build Task Force headed to The Netherlands recently for a one day conference about Self and Custom Build.
At the conference, Richard Bacon MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Self-Build, Custom and Community Housebuilding and Placemaking and Ambassador for the Task Force, shared the UK’s experience with the Right to Build registers and the benefits of a policy-led approach for assessing demand for custom and self-build homes.
The visit, also attended by Task Force Director Mario Wolf, was an opportunity for knowledge sharing, with key local and national Dutch Government delegates also sharing their experiences.
As part of the day delegates observed innovative and affordable housing models, including a high-density serviced-plots site in the city, a regeneration project that includes Custom and Self Build plots in Delft, where the municipality compelled the developer to include the plots, and an innovative self-refurbishment model of Custom Build in Amsterdam.
