Definitions and explanations
A dwelling refers to a flat designed to an appreciable proportion as a place of residence, irrespective of the type of building in which it is located. Dwellings in one- or two-dwelling buildings are therefore also defined as flats.
One-to-two dwelling buildings refer to detached one- or two-dwelling buildings as well as semi-detached houses, terraced houses and link attached houses (excluding holiday homes).
Multi-dwelling buildings refer to residential buildings with three or more apartments, including housing with balcony access.
Multi-dwelling buildings include special housing like housing for student, special housing for the elderly/disabled persons and other special housing.
Start usually refers to the initial date of starting clearance from the municipality; a more actual date for commencing construction work can be updated from the municipality.
