HOW DOES THIS CHANGE
THE LANDSCAPE?
It Accelerates Potential Housing Delivery
Serviced plots may be brought forward by landowners, private sector developers, the public sector, affordable housing providers and by community groups.
Ensuring a proportion of development land is made available as individual serviced plots encourages diverse housing delivery models and greater competition.
Incorporating serviced plots as part of the development mix can accelerate the build out of large strategic sites.
It Transforms the UK Housing Market
Bringing forward land as individual serviced plots for sale is a relatively new concept in the UK but is a conventional part of the newbuild market in most developed countries, where on average owner commissioned housing constitutes 39% of new housing supply*.
It helps you Meet Consumer Demand
61% of the UK public would like to build their own home according to a 2018 survey conducted by Nationwide BS, yet less than 8% of new homes are currently delivered this way and this is primarily due to restricted access to land and finance.
