A 3D representation of how Graven Hill could look once fully developed
The first project of its kind in the UK, Graven Hill is a council-enabled development specifically aimed at self and custom builders – offering opportunities for up to 1,900 bespoke homes. The goal is to make creating your own home easier by addressing a number of early-stage barriers.
Over 12,000 people manage to find land and build every year; but tracking down a suitable plot is still one of the biggest challenges for anyone who wants to create a bespoke home. It’s not just about identifying a gorgeous countryside or edge-of-village site. You need to be sure you can actually get planning permission for a house design that will suit you. And even if the plot looks viable, you still need to check there are no nasty surprises in store, such as bad ground conditions or difficult-to-access utilities, which could add cost and delay to your scheme
