The Chancellor’s 2014 Budget speech in March announced that the government will consult on a new “right to build”, giving citizens a right to challenge authorities that leave this duty unaddressed. Currently 10,000 households in the UK are owner-builders. Sam Brown (RIBAJ May 2014 p45) estimates that around 6 million households would be owner-builders if only regulations made it easier.

In the UK the 2014 National Planning Policy Framework for the first
time has placed a duty on councils in paragraph 159 to, first, “measure
the demand of” and, secondly “provide for” those who wish to build
their own homes.
