Imagine 5 townhouses in a terrace row, where normally you are allowed to only build 3. Now shift the entire the top floor to the right maybe 1 metre. Viola - now a multiple dwelling and therefore allowed. That's the rough theory anyway.

I thought they already made that change. It now says "substantial" instead of any amount overlapping.

I think the difficulty is that it is both a grouped dwelling in some contexts, and also a single house in other contexts. Depends what you're trying to do? For example, a granny flat should be okay.

That's putting it very simply, but yes it seems so.

I thought single house was pretty clearly defined in the Rcodes. Green title or survey strata with no common area?
