Isn't there a 60m2 unpermitted dwellings law coming down the pipeline?
I think there could be another leaky buildings style crisis on the horizon.
I think that's the granny flat rule, but that's in addition to a main building, as opposed to an apartment, which is a self sufficient unit.
I don't see why floor size would have any effect on the weather tightness of the building though.
Thanks for clarification, that makes more sense. Standalones remain 30m2. Hmm I can think of some housing stock in my town that magically will become compliant with that change.
No neither do I; that was a non sequitur from me, just general musing/thinking aloud about the regulatory climate. Sorry!
I would think we've learned our lesson from that, but who knows.
Hope you're right.
