the housing is getting really stupid and absolutely atrocious in the housing associations wanting to put one or two people in this shoe box,it was originally part of the house next to it and has been seperated and made into a bungallow if you can call it that? talk about claustrofobia.
claustrofobia....my thats a big word for me at this time of night. :shock:
Is this in Knotty Ash? :unibrow:
No,Scotland road...if you hav'nt noticed its in forum city center....silly old duffer. :rolleyes:
Oh,sorry...see what you mean diddy men.
Behave George.....your making me feel claustrophobic! :nod:
Looks like they just forgot to build the back half of it...:)
George, they actually build them that big from scratch. We had a thread on the Derwent Road Girls remand home a while ago, well, this is Lime Close that was built on the land.

Absolutely bloody awful that the developers are allowed to get away with cramming people into sardine tins.
And it looks like its also happening in the Anfield clearence site as well,passed their yesterday and I'm not kidding one o the buildings side looked as though it was no more than 10ft wide? and its not a garage its looks like flats.
My mate has a bungalow and the back garden is 2ft wider that the bungalow and 14ft longer than the bedroom,bathroom and kitchen combined...for heavens sake.
A caravan with separate bedroom(s) would be more roomy than that !
The thing that is laughable,Lindy is the terrible sidewalk paving,this was new housing and that pavement is realy terrible and no need to have it that wide.
None of the houses ??? in that picture look big enough to accomodate more than 2 people.
I wouldn't want to live in a cramped hole like that.:disgust:
Pud:ninja:
The two next to the alledged bungalow is a one bedroomed houses,the one next to them is a two bedroomed house.
I think these developers are on some sort of trip when they get to the drawing board?
Want shooting some of em...bet they wouldn't put there own kin folk in em.
This road was terraced houses once ie Silvester st off Scottie road.
On the plus side - you could heat the place with a tea candle and save loads of money.

They were meant for a parent who needed to move in after their spouse died or parents were old and needed not to be alone. Friend of mine in Philly has one, four bed roomed house and the good sized 'parent apartment' which in fact is about the size of my apartment!!! Her daughter and her husband are living there until their house is renovated. Maybe that is what this is!! An add on for a family member to sleep in.

1 bedroomed house is basically like a bungalow but with the bedrrom and bathroom upstairs and the larger living area and kitchen downstairs.
I have named the developers Bungalow Bill...why?....because there's sod all upstairs. :)
Hey there GP. Sounds a bit too snug to me I grew up in a little two bed-roomed house. One bedroom is just plain wrong!
Unless this is a council house, what is the problem? Most people buy into accomodation they can afford. If a developer, over here, builds a certain number of houses, he has to build one (or more, depending...) small enough to satisfy as low cost housing. The buyer must occupy the property for a number of years before selling it. This to prevent greedy property flippers.Quote:

A developer will try and get as many houses as possible on a four acre plot so as to maximize their profits ie sod joe bloggs I don't give a stuff so long as I get a good profit to extend my mansion in the country.
Doesn't Liverpool have Planning and Zoning codes that specify the density and requirements of all new housing?Quote:

The "granny flats" Ronni mentioned were popular in Los Angeles where I used to live, but as neighborhoods got older they often turned into housing for multiple illegal immigrant families...:PDT_Xtremez_12: These flats were often converted garages.
It does but thats not worth the legislation paper it was written on.Quote:

They gather a meeting of Joe public to show them the layout and sometimes a model of the area...looks great as a model but in reality the model cannot show the true size of the build and plot....when it gets the go ahaead alterations are put in place and this is where they sneek another couple of dwellings into the build which in turn condenses the original plot size.
What is it they say in the UK...."there's an housing shortage",usually its because they're boarded up or they are demolishing perfectly good houses just for the sake of remodelling an area.
That is disgraceful!! They still have them in NY suburbs, Philly suburbs and New Jersey (like anyone cares about NJ, don't know why I mentioned them!lol) for sure. My friend in Philly has one so spacious her daughter and son-in-law have been in there two or three years whilst renovating the house they bought. Living room was bigger than mine but then mine is tiny!Quote:

Yes, those lovely old houses in Admiral Street and the Welsh houses should have stayed. I had a massive flat on Devonshire Road, right by Princes Park gates. Marvelous old house, I reconsidered coming to the States when my aunties found that for me and I left home.Quote:
