“Adding an additional dwelling with 1–2 bedrooms to your residential property is a versatile way to provide different housing options for family members or renters, to maximise your land, and help meet current and future housing needs.

“We’ve developed an Additional Dwelling Guide to help you get started, with considerations for each stage, from the initial idea, and gathering site information, to the design, and finalising the build.

“We’ve also partnered with Homes for Good who are hosting three workshops from 23 October to provide practical information to property owners who are considering an additional dwelling on their site.”
