Notes

The Class MA source form advises applicants answering No not to continue with this application route and to seek advice from the local planning authority.

This answer confirms both that every proposed new dwellinghouse has a gross internal floor area of at least 37 square metres and that every proposed new dwellinghouse complies with the nationally described space standard.

Answer Yes only when both conditions are met for all proposed new dwellinghouses. Meeting the 37 square metre minimum alone is not confirmation of compliance with the space standard.

The field records the applicant's confirmation for eligibility assessment. It does not record individual dwelling measurements or calculate compliance from floor areas.
