Hi Chris,
You don’t need to sign up to your local Right to Build register to apply for planning. However, it couldn’t hurt your application to do so.
The Right to Build registers are in place to create enough demand for councils to permission sufficient land. While there is no restriction to applying for planning without being registered, it can certainly help put pressure on your local authority to accept permissioning a garden plot. We certainly encourage everyone who wants to build their own home to sign up to their local register.
If you want some more advice to gain permission, you can read 10 tips to win planning permission on a garden plot, written by planning expert Mike Dade.
