Looking at buying a block of land with the intention of putting a two houses on.
Found a nice block of land (location and price) but the width is a bit narrow
(12.54m).
From council rules for dual occupancies i wont be able to have a detatched dual dwelling. Also other implications i have found on the coucil rules is that each dwelling requires 2 car spaces (doesnt need to be covered) and each dwelling must have a 30m2 private courtyard. Attached dwelling just needs a common wall which also includes carports (apparantly on the dcp - so maybe that could be part of private courtyard?)
Anyway has anyone ever done this before or even built a duplex on such a narrow block. If only it was 2m wider i could even fit a project duplex on there.
Btw i need to give 900mm clearance on either side but there may be allowances to get it down to 450mm, either way best to assume i can only buil on 10.74m)
