Hi,
My father in-law is half-way through building a Granny flat for his newly married son + daughter in-law.
It has been first approved as a shed with septic, running water, but no internals.
A DA for conversion to a granny flat was applied for through the local council. The council are now stating that a 5 inch thick sealed driveway is needed from the road access to the granny flat.
The property is a RU4 - rural residential block on 3.5 acres with the the GF 90m and 70m set back from the road + existing house respectfully. There is no exiting sealed driveway for the existing house.
Obviously putting a 90m driveway in is not ideal and a huge waste of money.
Anyone come across a similar issue?
Is there anyway around the coucil's requirement?
