A FAST TRACK TO PLANNING PERMISSION
Securing planning consent can be one of the most challenging parts of a self build project. Graven Hill is on a mission to make self building accessible for everyone, however, and an important part of that is simplifying the planning process.
Planning permission on site
To take the uncertainty out of gaining planning, Cherwell District Council has adopted a Local Development Order (LDO) to grant permission in principle, according to a masterplan and design code. This means every serviced plot at Graven Hill already benefits from consent in principle. So, all self builders need to do is develop a design that fits with the indicated parameters in the Plot Passport and get it rubber-stamped. As long as you meet the compliance checklist, permission should be received within 28 days.
