So you want to know the process for getting a granny flat or try home approved in NSW and it’s councils.
Put simply, if you build your Granny Flat or Tiny Home in line with the government code then you will not require a Development Approval (DA); you can simply choose one of our TINY BLOX plans and we will use our private certifier to approve the Granny Flat or TINY HOME within 20 days. This means that you can place your order for a TINY BLOX and your building materials will arrive on site very quickly (Often within 21 days). |

The basic requirements are that you maintain the correct set backs from your side and rear property boundary and a keep the granny flat or tiny home a reasonable distance from your existing house.
In 2009, the New South Wales (NSW) Government released the Affordable Housing State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP) which permits all residential home-owners with a property larger then 450m² (which also has a minimum 12m street frontage) to build a Granny Flat or TINY HOME on their property if their property complies.
