So ABOVE, we have a couple examples. The upper in each (house #1) is a larger lot, the lower (house #2) is a smaller, or at least a shallower lot, one that is not so deep.
House #1 – under the curent rules,the garden suite must be set back 7.5m. But under the new rules, although in the above #1 example the garden suite is the same size under the old rules and the new ones, there is now more room for some extra back yard, behind the garden suite.
House #2 – this is the smaller lot, and under the old rules, there was not enough back yard for a reasonable-sized garden suite. But under the new rules, the garden suite can be much larger.
The fine print is HERE.
