Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Register Privacy Notice

The Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 places a duty on councils to keep a register of individuals or groups who are interested in acquiring serviced plots of land for self-build or custom build projects in their area.  This register will provide the Council with an indication of the demand for self/custom build plots within Spelthorne.

• Spelthorne Borough Council is the data controller for the personal data collected as part of the register.  Spelthorne Borough Council's Data Protection Officer can be contacted at data.protection@spelthorne.gov.uk
• the Council is required to hold a self-build and custom housebuilding register which is a legal requirement.  As part of the register, certain personal details of applicants are required to be stored including, but not limited to, names, addresses and date of birth
• the personal data will be held by the Council however this may be passed onto developers or builders, if and when, a suitable serviced plot of land for development becomes available
• the Council will store the information for as long as a Register is required to be held, which currently is for an indefinite period, unless the applicant requests their information be removed
• applicants may ask for their details to be removed from the register at any time; they may do so by emailing planning.policy@spelthorne.gov.uk
