Are 2 families allowed to live in 1 large house?

Questioner

People want their daughter and her family to come and live with them. They are exploring the possibilities. actually this is multi-generational living, i think? there is no question of informal care, so an informal care home is not possible. This municipality does not have a pre-informal care housing policy; so even via that route they cannot realise a house in the garden, nor create an independent part for the daughter and her family in the large farmhouse. The municipality does not allow the division of the house (due to the zoning plan). Can and may the family live with the parents? So that they live together as 2 families, so to speak?

Lawyer

Yes, usually the zoning plan puts a stop to such constructions because most of them use the provisions that a household may live in a home. The term household and home are usually explained then. A home (independent unit) is allowed on a building site, in which a household (multiple persons who permanently share the household and the home, read family). I will actually have to read the zoning plan carefully to see if living in the home with more than one family is allowed.
