Getting planning permission for a new home is often the hardest part of a self-build project. Not at Graven Hill.

To help you with this critical part of the process, all Self-Build plots at Graven Hill come with their own unique Plot Passport.

Simplified planning permission

Each plot’s specific Plot Passport sets out the parameters and information for your build.

The rules and guidelines in your Plot Passport simplifies the planning process.

Your Plot Passport contains:

  • A summary of the main features of your self-build plot
  • A plan and key to assist your designers with the production of initial sketch proposals
  • Information on the rules associated with a particular plot
  • Information on the range of external finishes and roofing options available in your character area
  • Information on the performance and sustainability requirements
  • Information on the ground conditions
  • Information about the services provided (electricity, gas, water, telecoms and drainage)
  • The main features of the latent defect policies
  • Details on what the drawing submission should include

“The Plot Passport means an architect can really hit the ground running. This is completely different to conventional projects where you are coming in to the design stage from a standing start and building the picture up entirely from scratch. It means the concept design can be formed quickly.”
