Hello,

Does anyone had experience of using a condition or UU/S016 to ensure the development complies with the self-build definition?

Thanks

Helen

Our officers raised the exact same query yesterday! We too would be interested to hear what others are doing.

Many thanks, Faye

Although I have not had any legal advice on the matter, my current view is that, as BNG is covered by the statutory condition, and not a condition on the local decision notice, then it is a matter than can be enforced against if an applicant says it's a self-build but then does not implement as a self-build. Would the UU not be duplicating the condition? I appreciate , though, that the UU can go further than the condition.
