Some quite out of touch comments in here, I think. Saying “unlikely they would imitate the stylish apartment blocks that can be seen in the likes of Paris or Rome.” when a large chunk of our population currently don’t have a hope of ever owning a home is pretty elitist, in my view.

They also mention 50m2 as being considered the minimum for banks to lend to you, I live in a three bedroom house that’s 100, a living space for one person can definitely be less than half that.

I really hope we can get more dwellings built that are affordable for a single person, that’s something currently missing from our market, I feel.

Developers just keep churning out the same bland cookie cutter designs for the last twenty years so excuse me if I don’t value their opinions

And that’s kinda what we need right now, just mass produced, low cost housing that people can actually afford.

Except it is neither low cost nor affordable.
