    Depends on where the site it, Urban, Suburban, Rural and what's near by.

    I think you need to check with Planning re site size. If you've a treatment plant or septic tank I think you'll need a half acre.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Do you need a house that size? Have a proper think about your situation now and going forward. Consider build cost, heating, cleaning, maintenance etc.

    Fair enough. I am building a circa 2200 sq feet house and it seems huge. I had planned on 2600 but was talked out of it thankfully.

    Ask the planning dept they're the only ones who can give you the answer

    Physically yes: but planning is a different matter.
