Detached studio info in NSW

Hi All

I'm looking to buy a house with a smallish backyard. I want to put a detached studio out the back (just one bedroom plus bathroom). Anyone know who I can talk to in order to check whether the land is big enough before I buy the house?

Thanks

Hi Chagrin,

Here's the main rules for detached studios in back yards (NSW):

" Development standards for detached studios


- A detached studio must not be located in a heritage conservation area or draft heritage conservation area.

- A detached studio must be located behind the building line.

- Not more than one detached studio may be located on a lot.

- Must not have a building height of more than:
3.6m, or if the studio is located within 900mm of a lane?6m.

- The floor area of a detached studio must not be more than the following:
(a) if the lot has an area of not more than 350m2?20m2,
(b) if the lot has an area of more than 350m2?35m2.


The side and rear setbacks for a detached studio are as follows:
(a) if the lot has a width, measured at the building line, of at least 6m but not more than 18m?0.9m,
if the lot has a width, measured at the building line, of more than 18m?1.5m.

Brazen.
