co living

Co living has been gradually establishing itself as a form of alternative housing for some time and local authorities are actively including the co living in their Local Plans. Typically, they are clarifying the number of rooms and also the size of each one within co living developments. They also deliberate how much off-site affordable housing is required for their policies in regard to co living. Even since 2016, when the first co living policies were introduced, stipulations have been put in place to ensure that the residents in co living developments have the best possible experience. In London rooms sizes have greatly increased, from just 18sqm when first introduced these have now been increased from 18sqm being the absolute minimum to a more comfortable 27sqm maximum size. Communal and amenity spaces have also increased in size, making the residents time a much happier one when socialising in the communal areas within the developments.
