It should have a separate access to a street (direct or via a garden or grounds) or to a common space within the building (staircase, passage, gallery and so on). Detached rooms for habitation which are clearly built, rebuilt, converted, etc., to be used as part of a dwelling should be counted as part of the dwelling.

  • DWELLING:  A separate and independent place which was built, rebuilt, enlarged or converted to be used as a private accommodation, and that is not totally occupied for other purposes during the reference period. Separate means hat the place is enclosured by classic or any other type of walls, covered, and allowing a person or group of persons to sleep, cook and shelter from intemperate weather, apart from other members of the collectivity.
