Granny Flat Designs in NSW that Will Get Approval
Now you can probably goes most places and you’ll get council approval for your granny flat plans. However, the question that I have for you is are they the best plans? And by that, I mean that often there’s things that we can do to push the envelope. If somebody is guaranteeing council approval, usually it means that they’re not going for the highest best use.They think this is really easy. I’m just going to do the really basic one. I’m just going to make it the smallest possible footprint. And I’m going to make sure that everything perfectly complies so that when I put it into the certifier or to the council, that it it gets through straight away.
But unfortunately, what happens is by aiming low, you get low.
