Granny Flat Design FAQs
What Are the Different Types
of Granny Flats?
In Australia, there are generally three types of Granny Flats — detached, home extensions, and in-home.
- Detached — the most popular format, shown in our designs above, that creates a self-contained and private living space.
- Home extension — built on the side of your existing residence.
- In-home — creating a delineated space within your current home, often including the building of new walls, kitchen and bathroom.
Can I Build a Granny Flat Without
Council Approval in NSW?
In New South Wales, homeowners can build Granny Flats without the usual council development approval process — but certain requirements must be met.
The State Government introduced the ‘State Environmental Planning Policy for Affordable Rental Housing’ in 2009. This means that a ‘Private Certifier’ or ‘Council’ can rapidly approve the project — typically in around 20 days.
Vivo Granny Flats are Complying Development experts and can efficiently manage your project in the shortest space of time.
How Long Does It Take To Design
