family homes and their gardens
to me a 3 or more bedroom home I a family home. A home with or will have young children. I guess it is about money/profit but some have gardens the size of postage stamp. No way a child could ride a bike or play football in it.
somewhere in the region of 60ft long and 24ish feet wide should be a legl minimum size for a new build. macafee2 |

Its all about how many houses they can squeeze into the available land. Last house was a newer one, tiny gardens front and back.

With today's land prices Ian, that would double the price of a 3-bedroom house in some parts of the country.
I think the answer lies in ensuring that all new estates have adequate paying areas and parks as communal facilities. |

we should not have to legislate for decent size gardens but I feel that perhaps we need to. macafee2 |

I know this is about gardens but we are the only country in Europe (i believe) that doesn't have minimum sizes for new build houses.
Holland have one and has a similar if not higher density so it's achievable if the will is there. |

We’re looking at moving in about 3 years, to another new build, 5 bed detached house. While I want a garden a bit bigger than we’ve got now, I wouldn’t want 1 60ft long! Too much wasted space. As long as we can have a shed for the mower and bikes, a decent seating area, and a bit of grass to drive the model tanks on that’s fine. Which tbh we could do in our current garden if it wasn’t on such a steep slope.

A garden at something like 30ft with another house and garden behind the next house is only 60ft away, fat too close for me but I don't like new build estates. macafee2 |

Where I was before was a fairly new build, tiny gardens, pokey rooms, looked out of the window straight at someone else's house. When I moved to what had been my parent's place it was like a breath of fresh air, one of four cottages surrounded by open grass and woodland. I look out of the window and I'm looking across the Firth Of Forth across to Fife.
