ᐅ Two semi-detached houses, one of which includes a separate granny flat (or accessory apartment).

Thank you for your information. However, in general, it would not be impossible to build this way if the zoning plan / building permit allowed it. First, a suitable plot of land needs to be found. I think it should be about 1000 sqm (10,764 sq ft) for all of us, so that everyone can have a small garden and garages on it.

If I were you, I wouldn’t focus too much on that, especially if there isn’t an abundance of building land in your area. I’ve heard that plots of land don’t just grow back 😉 In new development areas, it is often regulated that single-family house lots may be built on with one residential unit and/or a single-family house with a granny flat (2 residential units). Designated semi-detached house lots are usually only allowed to be built with these 2 residential units, meaning 2 halves of a semi-detached house. It’s different in building gaps. With some luck, you might find a plot where more options are permitted. In the current case, a four-family house was discussed just a few weeks ago... there, three residential units would also be possible.

whether a granny flat can be built into one semi-detached house but not the other

The number of residential units may be limited by the zoning plan, but the building type "semi-detached house" does not necessarily restrict the total to just one pair of units, nor does it require the two halves to be identical (except sometimes the zoning plan may mandate matching profiles, roof pitches, eaves heights, or similar features).

.... but only that both units share a continuous building structure 😉
