In 2022, there were 13,234 stand-alone houses consented with a floor area less than 200 square metres and 8,166 stand-alone houses consented with a floor area larger than 200 square metres.
“Ten years ago, more homes were being consented with a floor area above 200 square metres than below. This has shifted in recent years, with more homes being consented with a floor area below 200 square metres,” Heslop said.
