Hi everyone,
What do you think is the minimum size you would want the rear block to be, in a battleaxe build and retain scenario, from a practical perspective in terms of being able to build a reasonable single storey house, and also ability to sell (ie. don't want something so small, its undesirable)?
To narrow it down a little, say a R35 700sqm rectangular block with 20m frontage. So from the R-code perspective you would be limited to a minimum size of 220sqm right, but practically, say there is literally only 220sqm in the backyard if you went right to the edge of the existing building, is that enough area to build a rear house? If not, what would a rough minimum size estimate be?
EDIT - Just came across a table suggesting minimum lot area for a R35 rear battleaxe is 395sqm??
Thanks!
