Prospective home-builders urged to join Moray Council register

MORAY Council has urged people interested in building their own home to join their self-build register.

The council will use this to ensure it is meeting the demands of the community when preparing their Local Development Plan.

Councillor David Gordon (Conservative, Speyside Glenlivet), chair of the planning and regulatory services committee, said the register is not a binding commitment but will measure demand for plots and help the council develop new plans.

He said: "Being on the self-build register is not a requirement for planning consent and registration does not guarantee a suitable plot will be identified or become available for you.

“However, we will use this information to plan how demand for self-build could be met in the new Local Development Plan."
