Bristol City Council City Council has approved plans for single-occupancy modular homes in a bid to tackle its housing crisis. The UK city's planning committee has given the go-ahead for developer Ecomotive to create two 37-44 sq m one-bed homes in the garden of a two-flat split terraced property. While the miniature homes meet the minimum internal floor space requirements under UK law, the local council's own regulations state one-bed dwellings should not be built as they cannot accommodate extra residents. Meanwhile, the developer believes Bristol City Council should set new precedents and allow its Snug housing design, and break from "bureaucratic regulations".
