I am currently looking into the idea of designing and building my own house. Now I am a complete novice with this type of thing and I am trying to get a little bit of info on what rules and regulations there are for new build planning. I can only imagine how much many avenues I am going to have to go down, but any helpful hints or information would be greatly appreciated. Plus it will get the other half off my back!

Thats what I have had to do. I liked the idea of doing most of it myself but couldn't get my head round some of the things to do with the design and planning permission side of things. Hopefully it should all be finalised in the next month or so.

You could try looking at the following site: Just Ask Dino . There is a page all about building regulations and planning permission. It may have what your looking for on there mate.
Hope this helps

Finding the land is the hardest part. As soon as it is a sigle plot up goes the price.
Think of paying NO MORE than 30% of the price the house built on the plot is likely to sell for. 25% would be better./ Some agents price land as high as 60%. meaning there is nothing in it for the self builder. Go to BuildStore Financial Services Ltd | Self Build, Renovation, Plots of Land for Sale for all about self build. |

Spend some time viewing Kevin McLeod's "Grand Designs" programme and two common denominators run through 80% of the programs:- The Stress of the whole experience and the cost overruns. Before you build give some serious consideration to these points.Good luck.
