Build your own home and beat the rising house prices. That's one alternative that will be encouraged in the proposed Local Plan for Sedgemoor, that includes Highbridge and Burnham. The district council's Nick Tait revealed plans to allow more self-build projects in the area as part of their plans for rural organic growth. He said it doesn't mean you build the home yourself but you can employ a builder once the land is bought.
