Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the benefits of creating a custom and self-build housing delivery unit within Homes England.

The promotion of further awareness of the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 (as amended), sometimes known colloquially as ‘the Right to Build’, and the creation of a custom and self-build housing delivery unit within Homes England, form part of the recommendations set out in Richard Bacon MP’s ‘Independent review into scaling up self-build and custom housebuilding’ commissioned by the Prime Minister and published on 21 August. The Government is currently considering the recommendations and will publish a response as soon as possible.
