report says new three-bedroom houses are under construction 8% smaller than the guidelines recommend

The Royal Institute of British Architects has criticized the "shoebox" size homes being built in Britain. Before his research on housing needs, RIBA states that many new homes being built are too small for the number of people expected to live in them.

The institute says the average new house with three bedrooms is 8% below standard recently approved for homes in London, with an area of ??88 square meters (947 square feet). It is 8 square meters short of the recommended space, the equivalent of one piece.

one bedroom properties, with an average of 46 square meters, are four square meters less than the recommended size, said in its recent report the case of space.

Banham said: "" There are some fundamental questions should be directed to ensure that we have more of the right kind of affordable housing in villages, towns and villages ... new ideas and approaches will be necessary financing. "

Anna Scott Marshall, head of RIBA policy, said the organization's Community Houses future will focus on issues such as housing costs, construction quality, design and layout , including such factors as the amount of light in a property.

"We must look at affordability and mechanisms must be established to allow people to buy," he said.
