Right to Build

The Right to Build is a legal entitlement allowing individuals or groups to have a say in local development by requesting permission to construct housing or other buildings on specific land. It empowers communities and self-builders to directly influence local planning, provided they meet certain criteria. This right encourages more diverse and personal housing projects, fostering innovation and responsiveness to local needs. Essentially, it gives those interested in building a say in the planning process, supporting efforts to create tailored, community-focused developments while complying with existing planning laws.
