Surely it's not entirely up to the developer.
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...
These flats were often converted garages.
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!) 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!

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.
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.
