The Royal Greenwich Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Register includes two parts:

• Part 1 keeps track of local demand for self-build and custom housebuilding which must be met through the grant of sufficient permissions on serviced plots of land.
• Part 2 keeps track of general demand for self-build and custom housebuilding, with no requirement to grant sufficient permissions on serviced plots of land.

Eligibility for inclusion on Part 1 or Part 2 of the register is dependent on the submission of appropriate information required by regulations and to address local eligibility requirements. Local eligibility requirements include:

• For Part 1 of the register, a requirement to demonstrate a “local connection” (an exception applies to persons in the service of, or have recent been in the service of, the regular armed forces of the Crown); and
• For both Parts of the register, a requirement to demonstrate sufficient financial resources to purchase land.

For more detail of the local eligibility requirements, and the evidence necessary to demonstrate compliance, please see the accompanying guidance notes https://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/downloads/download/1169/registering_for_a_self-build_or_custom-build_plot_guidance_notes.

You should provide all the necessary information with the completed application form to allow for applications to be assessed. Following the receipt of your application we will assess the information you have provided and confirm in writing if you are, or are not, eligible for entry in Part 1 or Part 2 of the register as appropriate. If an application is incomplete or there is insufficient information for it to be assessed, this may result in applications being refused.

If you are accepted on the to register, this will be conditional on the receipt of the required fee and you may be removed from the register if this fee is not paid. Further information about fees and how to pay can be found in the fees guidance note included in the accompanying guidance notes
