Persimmon Homes has proposed an amendment to the policy requiring self-build homes to be delivered alongside larger residential developments. The policy, which includes a cascade mechanism, is deemed inflexible and does not consider site-specific factors. The mandatory requirement for self-build homes could negatively impact housing delivery in the county. Persimmon Homes, a lead developer, has experienced issues with individual developments, design quality, and site management. The policy's inflexibility and mandatory requirement could slow down the delivery of homes on major sites, affecting the Council's supply. Other ways for local authorities to explore self-build homes include using their own land, working with local partners, Homes England, and Neighbourhood Planning Groups, and allocating land.

Persimmon Homes have no objections in principle to this policy, however, note that the word ‘generally’ has
been removed from criteria part b of this policy. Persimmon Homes are of the view this should be reasserted
to allow for some flexibility, just because a building may be on a ridgeline or watercourse does not necessarily
mean it will impact on landscape character.

The Rutland County Council's Open Space Assessment 2023 reveals a significant increase in open space requirements from 2.95ha to 5.43ha per 1,000 population. This increase is primarily due to the provision of parks, gardens, amenity space, and new requirements for natural and semi-natural spaces, allotments, and community gardens. However, Persimmon Homes disagrees with the assessment's justification for increasing open space standards. The assessment shows a current deficiency in the provision of children and young people, with a surplus for all other typologies. The future population of Rutland is projected to be 45,487 by 2041, resulting in a quantitative deficiency in open space provision for children and young people. Persimmon Homes acknowledges the importance of providing open space on site but believes local justification is needed. They support the inclusion of links with wider green and blue infrastructure and the need for open space to deliver a biodiversity net gain on site in line with policy EN3 of the Regulation 19 of the Local Plan.
