GCARTON Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Hello, Moving back to Scotland after a number of years abroad. Am intersted in learning more about community self builds, where a group of like minded people come together and do a small housing development that is suited to their needs and budgets. Does anyone know where I can learn more about this, show me examples and also if a forum exists where folk can post about potential projects to join or to advertise projects for others to join. Thanks, Edited March 15, 2020 by GCARTON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yes. This one is quite well known, it's called Lancaster co-housing. Very welcoming and helpful bunch of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishjohn Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Kirkmabreck Quarry - Plan (3).pdfI attach the site plan notice the A75 is actually owned by me -LOl maybe need to take some expensive legal advice on how to maximise its value certainly will make dealings with planning for access much easier i think some one suggested a truck stop? 40miles from stranraer --40 from dumfries --so maybe --but not for me to do Edited March 16, 2020 by scottishjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that goes with the Right of Way, apart from certain circumstances. If the A75 route was established by invading English, then they probably have a RoW ? .
