The Cohousing Company received planning permission in June 2005 for the first Co-Flats community. CoFlats is similar to Cohousing but it’s just flats.
The related Cohousing Company built the first new-build cohousing community in the UK in Stroud (see Springhill Cohousing entry).
The principles of Cohousing are that decisions are made by consensus, the site is pedestrianised, the common house is used for shared meals and is a communal extension to residents’ private living rooms.
