Single-occupancy units with shared amenity space — applied to Bolton Council in the North West. With low Building Safety Act friction and an average build cost of £1900/sqm, the deal arithmetic for co-Living Developments here is distinct from neighbouring boroughs.
Bolton Council does not currently operate Article 4 on residential PD, so co-Living Developments can proceed via the standard prior-approval route in most cases.
