Our self-build list contains details of anyone acquiring or interested in acquiring land for self-build housing in the local area.
We prepare and maintain a list of anyone interested in acquiring land for self-build, as specified in the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 (Section 16E).
Register your interest in self-build housing
Please note that registration does not guarantee that a suitable plot will be identified, or become available for you.

Understanding the demand for self-provided housing is important for our plan-making and decision-taking.
This list of people with a registered interest in acquiring land locally for self-provided housing is monitored alongside broader housing market data. This helps to inform policies and proposals in the Local Development Plan.
We use the information to explore ways in which it might be possible for people and plots to be brought together.
Self-build housing is where someone commissions or is personally involved in the design and construction of a home that is intended to be their main residence once it is built. This can be acting alone or with others.
You can project manage your build with sub-contractors or use one contractor for a fully managed solution. This does not mean you have to do all the physical work yourself, it's your choice.
Type of housing | Definition |
