Definitions and explanations
Dwellings refers to a unit intended fully or to a significant extent for residential use, regardless of the type of building in which it is located. Therefore, residences in one- or two-dwelling buildings are defined as dwellings.
One- or two-dwelling buildings refers to a detached one- or two-dwelling building, as well as semi-detached, terraced and linked buildings (excluding second homes).
Multi-dwelling buildings refers to buildings with three or more dwellings, including balcony-access buildings.
Conversion refers to the difference between the number of dwellings added and the number eliminated in conversions or altered use.
