| | However, I consider that as there is an approved Development Brief for residential development with open space, agreed both by the County and Rushmoor Borough Councils and a planning consent for housing, then there can be no objection, in principle, to the grant of planning permission for the 61 dwellings. | | | Immediately to the east of the track serving 'Brickfields' is a mix of residential and garage development separating the site from a recently completed housing scheme. | | | He therefore recommends that a proper detailed survey of the development area is carried out to ascertain whether or not landfill gas is migrating towards the proposed housing. |

| | PUBLIC TENANTS RIPPED OFF AGAIN : Melbourne Indymedia |
| | On the eve of the Bracks Governments massive foray into privatized social housing, one inner-city public housing estate is set to lose all of its open space, a casualty of the bottom line. | | | While open space may be a rare commodity in the post-modern city landscape, public housing estates have traditionally included open areas enabling residents to socialize with neighbours and children to play on site. | | | But if a 50 unit block springs up, it is unlikely that one of the proposed social housing corporations could afford to purchase it, even with Government finance. |

| | Semi-detached - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Terraced housing is constituted by continuous row houses with open spaces at the front and back, semi-detached houses have front, rear and any one side open spaces and individual detached houses have open spaces on all sides. | | | Semi-detached housing (usually abbreviated to semi, as in "three-bedroom semi" and known as a duplex in the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia), consists of pairs of houses built side by side as units sharing a party wall and usually in such a way that each house's layout is a mirror image of its twin. | | | This style of housing, although built throughout the world, is commonly seen as particularly symbolic of the suburbanisation of the United Kingdom. |

| | Housing |
| | The capacity of land to meet housing needs is determined by four factors: environmental conditions, such as steep slopes and wetlands; vacant land and the amount of land that is suitable for redevelopment; infrastructure limitations, such as water and sewer service; and development regulations including allowed densities, open space requirements and road standards. | | | HO-8 Ensure that new housing approved at six units to the acre is consistent with the character of surrounding land uses or, in the case of newly created neighborhoods, that new housing results in the creation of attractive, safe places to live. | | | These estimates assume that a portion of the housing units located east of Redmond serve Redmond employment centers; that the average number of workers per household is 1.4; and that Redmond’s proposed residential unit count for 2012 is approximately 26,400. |
