The new planning reforms that could help self-builders fix Britain's broken housing market
Briefly

The UK government's Planning and Infrastructure Bill, expected by late 2025, aims to revolutionize housing delivery in England. The reforms will simplify the planning process, reduce delays, and increase support for self-build and custom build projects. A £16 billion National Housing Bank will provide necessary financial backing for individuals and small builders to access land and funding. These changes could allow self-builders to play a greater role in addressing the housing shortage, substantially improving the availability of both plots and financial resources.
The government has committed to supporting self-build and custom housebuilding through a new £16 billion National Housing Bank, helping individuals and small builders get projects off the ground.
There is huge public interest in self-build and custom-build housing. These reforms finally recognise that people want more control over their homes and that they are ready to do the work if given the tools.
