Self Builders have the choice to carry out major parts of the build themselves which will save them the maximum amount of money when they build their family home or they can put some of the build into the hands of contractors. Flosh Meadows support will be given to all types of build procedures including Custom Homes build where you agree the design of your home and a contractor produces a Turnkey Build house that you can simply walk into.
Persons who buy at an earlier stage will generally be notified before other persons of all next plots for sale. Allowing them to either buy another plot or tell family or friends to buy a plot.
The government experts on “Right To Build” tell Local Authorities: “Plot Passports alongside Design Codes are a simple way of helping private home builders understand what they can build on their plot”. The code should allow for design variation, creativity, innovation and originality; it will also specify what is mandatory and what is optional.

The example houses on Youtube are to help you visualise what can be built but you are most certainly not restricted to the designs that we show; we know that self builders wish to design their own homes to their own needs, tastes, size, specification & of course not forgetting costs.
All our plots have been designed to be big enough for a large 2 story high 10 meter wide by 10 meter front to back family home; and a limited number of single story bungalows and dormer bungalows with some 2 1/2 story homes can be considered.
All plot owners will be required to finish the outside of their new home including front and visible gardens within 12 month of commencing the build, this is a readily achievable time scale and has the great benefit of making sure the full site is completed as quickly as possible. One of the major benefits of a self build is that you can further develop the interior of your new family home when your finances & time allows you to do so.
Plots number 18, 19, 20 & 21 are classed as affordable homes and are available for suitable persons who Copeland Borough Council consider should benefit from reduced plot prices. These 4 plots will be sold at 80% market value but any future resale price will need to reflect this discount.
