Posted By anon1234 Agree it's not illegal but i would suggest demarkating it from the site and giving it a seperate entrance to avoid the need to go through any part of the construction site to gain access - won't look to good if the residents come back from the pub and injure themselves on the site

Posted By Gerry Marchant Check the details in the information provided by the architect or surveyor, usually the preliminary's...it will normally state in there that the site/compound area cannot be used for anything else other than construction work...and that includes 'living accommodation' We've had this situation before and were directed to this clause!
