More self-build will promote localism and help boost the wider economy, safeguard and create new construction jobs and help reduce carbon emissions. We will therefore work with the Government to remove the key barriers that make it difficult for many self-builders and community self-build groups to bring forward their projects. We will do this by enabling more land to be made available for self-builders; working with financial institutions and the public sector to improve the availability of development finance for self-builders; and removing regulatory barriers which are hindering more self-build developments from coming forward
