WHY WE’RE BUILDING AT GRAVEN HILL
Located near Bicester in Oxfordshire, Graven Hill is the largest self build scheme the UK has ever seen – and it’s the government’s poster child for how bespoke home building could become easier and more common. Build It fully supports this council-led initiative, and we saw it as the ideal location, right in the heart of England, to create our unique Self Build Education House.
Backing on to Grand Designs: The Street (to the west of the main development), our corner site is part of Graven Hill’s Community Streets character area. There are some site-wide rules we have to abide by, such as ridge heights, build zones and the amount of gross internal floor area – but this location gives us a high level of design flexibility.
For standard self build plots at Graven Hill, the overarching parameters are set out in a Plot Passport – and provided your scheme falls within the guidelines, you should get fast-track planning permission within 28 days. These sites are also sold on a
Golden Brick basis, including services up to the plot boundary and foundations built to suit your design – taking much of the risk out of a traditional self build.
If you fancy the idea of creating a tailor-made home with an easy commute into Oxford,
London and Birmingham, there’s a range of opportunities available to buy at Graven Hill.
These run from serviced self build plots like ours, through to ‘mix-and-match’ turnkey houses and custom builds where you to get to choose the internal layout and finishes.
