without planning permission
• may be used as part of a neighbourhood
plan or separately
• expected to be mainly used for small scale
housing in rural areas
• but can be used for shops, businesses,
community facilities, playgrounds, small
scale power generation, etc
BUILD
Who can submit a CRtBuild Order?
• parish council or existing
neighbourhood forum
• local charities

- ‘established for… furthering the social.
economic & environmental well-being of
individuals living, or wanting to live, in a
particular area’
