"Impossible Builds" on More4

[peejay]

Talking of rules, I saw an episode of Grand Designs a while back where a couple were building a house on a small hemmed-in plot in London somewhere. In the episode they discussed how no new-build in London these days apparently will get planning perm for less than 87 m2 as it's deemed too small.
So, my current 3 bed house would never get built there as it's only around 60 m2!

I think your allotment makes up for the garden no?

Deffo and now that we've got one just up the road its even better. The previous one (well still current but we're running it down and transferring the gear) was a long haul to get to (20 minute drive). The garden is OK to be honest, its big enough for kids to have a kick about if we had some of the horrible wee buggers and Her Maj did grow more stuff in it before we got an allotment.

We surprised ourselves how we took to a new build after being dead against them.
