Self-Build Wales removes these barriers and makes it far easier for people to build their own home. It will also be a significant boost to building firms across Wales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we work to increase the amount of housing available, this scheme will help people who wouldn\u2019t normally think of self-build to consider it seriously.<\/p>\n<h3>Open the doors to self and custom build<\/h3>\n<p>Cenydd Rowlands, property director at the Development Bank of Wales, commented: \u201cWe are excited to be working with the Welsh Government to deliver this innovative scheme which will have real impact for households as well as for wider communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Development Bank of Wales has been working with the property sector in Wales since 2012, and we have experienced first-hand the skill and passion that exists in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBringing planning, design, construction and funding together will open the doors to self and custom build for people who would not otherwise have considered it as a realistic option.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Industry response<\/h3>\n<p>Andrew Baddeley-Chappell, CEO of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nacsba.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Custom and Self-Build Association<\/a>, said: \u201cSelf-building enables the delivery of more and better homes that more people aspire to live in and that communities are happier to see built.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHomes that are more beautiful, more in keeping with their surroundings and more sustainable than the mainstream market delivers. Homes that can combine high technology with the work of local artisans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ifan Glyn, Wales director for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmb.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Federation of Master Builders<\/a>, added: \u201cSmall building firms from across Wales will be delighted with the launch of the Self-Build Wales scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a challenging time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/barriers-to-small-housebuilders-to-be-removed\/59050\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">small housebuilders<\/a> over recent years with our members citing the drying up of financing streams and challenges in navigating the planning system as their main barriers to growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted the Welsh Government have listened to our members\u2019 concerns and have worked with us to develop a scheme that eliminates these barriers from the equation. The hard work starts now, but with continued collaboration, I am confident the Self-Build Wales scheme will provide our members with a major opportunity to build new homes within their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new \u00a3210m Self Build Wales scheme has been launched today (3 March) to help people build their own homes and provide new opportunities for Welsh SME builders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,283,276,572,656],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-72717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-finance","9":"tag-government","10":"tag-housebuilding","11":"tag-housing"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New \u00a3210m self-build scheme launched in Wales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The new \u00a3210m Self Build Wales scheme has been launched today to help people build their own homes and provide new opportunities for Welsh SME builders\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/self-build-wales\/72717\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New \u00a3210m self-build scheme launched in Wales\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new \u00a3210m Self Build Wales scheme has been launched today (3 March) to help people build their own homes and provide new opportunities for Welsh SME builders\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/self-build-wales\/72717\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
