This is the number of buildings within the site development -add up no. appartment blocks + detached properties + terraced units etc.

Sum of all the lengths of supporting walls in the property. (See Examples for diagrams and further explanation.)

Total number of individual additional supporting walls. For terraced houses this includes dividing walls and then any additional walls per terraced house (See Examples for diagrams and further explanation.)
