Option D is the preferred option as it would give more certainty to those looking to undertake small scale self-build, and individual custom-build projects. A holistic review of the Development Boundaries for this purpose would be accordance with Core Strategy Policy OSS2. Currently the development boundaries are applied rigidly by Development Management officers but are only updated to reflect major development opportunities. A revised approach to reviewing the development boundaries would enable more small-scale opportunities for self-build and individual custom-build housing to come forward and be realised.
