We’ve just updated our register (https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/selfbuild) in line (hopefully) with the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding (Register) Regulations 2016 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/id/uksi/2016/105). The update required care in that there’s a difference between the information applicants must provide with their application for entry on a register and the information that a relevant authority must include in their register.
Section 5 of the Regulations sets out the information that an applicant must include with their application for entry on a register – this is information needed to determine an applicant’s eligibility.
Section 7 of the Regulations sets out the information that is required to be contained in a relevant authority’s register. The draft planning guidance issued by DCLG (http://www.tinyurl.com/draftSBCHguidance) reflects the requirements of Section 7 of the Regulations.
I’d welcome comment on how other councils interpreted the requirements of the Act with regard to register questions.
The only conflict I can see is that we need the personal details of every member of a group as well as details of the group name and lead. This proved too difficult with the survey software we are using so if I get anyone signing up on behalf of a group I will contact them to obtain all group members details.
