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.
The only thing I’m concerned about is the continued creep of housing developments into productive farmland.
If developers want to increase density of housing in current areas, that’s a good thing! I don’t particularly care about how stylish a development is at this point in time. Besides, current cookie cutter housing is all ugly anyway.
