It seems your regulations are almost as restrictive as the UK and a similar focus on land/property ownership. Like the UK, it seems like a community of like-minded tiny house owners would have to get together and get some land to have a place to be - but even then, that would count as camping? Although that would only work if you wanted a static life-style.
One of the promotions of tiny houses is as student accommodation and, again, I wonder where the houses are parked. Lots of parents do buy small bricks-and-mortar houses (Leicester has an abundance of only-just-larger-than-a-tiny-house terraced houses originally built for factory workers coming into the cities after land enclosures). I can imagine that university and local authorities, especially with the latest Police and Crime Bill going through parliament, would see tiny houses as a problem (actually, the universities are among the largest land-owners, building high-rise student village accommodation).
I would struggle with a ladder, especially if I was carrying anything like a cup of tea. One model had a staircase with deeper steps although not very wide and no hand rail. The space underneath was divided into storage spaces, quite well done, I thought.
If you can get the city to modify the laws, it wouldn't count as camping. Like we did finally get an ADU law passed in Denver, and we do have two tiny house villages that were made for homeless folks, but those villages are not permanent because they don't own the land, so they've had to move a couple of times as the landowner let them use an empty parking lot or something for a while but then Denver is gentrifying rapidly so a developer bought it and wanted to build there. I'm thinking that perhaps we would be able to build a permanent tiny house village if we had land because of that, but it's also possible the city just made an exception for them because of how much homelessness we have here.
To be clear, I am currently enjoying my new apartment. :) They layout is quite nice. But being able to modify to your own style would be cool. For instance, I might do the bottlecap floor on the balcony, if I owned my apartment instead of rented.
I understand - I'm just curious about how it works 😍.
