What is the legal set up for house occupancy?
Due to the unusual nature of the project, the legal status of occupation needed to incorporate elements of the innovative set up of the project. Each dwelling has an associated 999-year lease. These have a lot in common with standard leases, but with provision for the nature of the project. These include specific conditions, such as restriction on fossil-fuelled cars and an obligation to contribute a minimum number of hours to the cooperative.
