Action on Rabbit Hutches?

ukcarper

It's a bit like car parks in some the spaces are quite tight but making them a couple of inches smaller they can squeeze in a couple of extra spaces on each floor.

I really don't like some of the new estates near me not so much because of the size of the houses but the building density but accept living in a densely populated part of the country it's what's needed to build sufficient houses.

OK. Well that's one house on one estate by one builder. Not sure we can conclude therefore there are no issues.

Feel free to run away from the discussion and not come back with a counter argument.

Bedroom two and three are very generous single rooms, the main room however is very small and you would have just enough room to walk around it if you had a double bed in there, it would be much better if it just had a family bathroom and no en-suite.

The bedroom is not much smaller than my 1970s built house (a couple of feet shorter) I don't find it a problem.

Blimey you can get a bigger 3 bed detached for half that price in certain parts of the UK.

Dare i say the issue is the government needs to get people & business into the idea of not all trying to live in 5% of the UK.

Obviously everyone has different needs but I would expect a double room to have enough room for a double bed, a wardrobe and a set of drawers so that two people could actually store their clothes in the bedroom.

Horah! :T

Completely and utterly pointless political time wasting cobblers; and that's the nicest thing I can think to say about it.

Why are houses in the UK too small:
a) An evil conspiracy by builders to make us suffer by living in glorified prison cells?
b) Property/land is too darn expensive to buy and get permission to develop thus people can't afford to buy larger properties?

I want there to be bigger homes in the UK but this kind of idiocy isn't going to bring it about because people can't afford to pay 25% more for 3 bed-semi 'with space' if a 3 bed-semi already costs £200,000.

Developers won't build larger houses if the choice is between building 10,000 houses or 8,000 bigger houses; and we as society need as many houses as we can get.

The only solution to housing in the UK is for the government to take decisive action to drive building 500,000+ homes per year for a sustained period. There is no political will to do it because house building is unpopular with those who live near it.

We could build up more, both by building more flats and more three level properties, most areas with highest density house most of their residents in spacious apartments, really we need to change our views of what a home actually is, if we did we could get far more space for our money.

The room has a built in wardrobe I think there would be room for a chest. In my room I have 3 full size chest of drawers as as I said it's only 2ft longer.

If you consider the room needed for a double bed you can get a chest of drawers on one of the side walls, you wouldn't however have room to open them as the bed takes up so much room, you could open the drawers if it was under the window near the wardrobe, however you then couldn't fully open the wardrobe doors. Even the door into the bedroom would be a few inches from hitting the bed, not a very well thought out room at all, especially with that stupid en-suite. That is the same with the headboard being on either of the two walls that are available.
