Rural housing should adhere to the principle of "favorable production and convenient life" and do a good job in housing space and plane layout. It is suggested that two layout schemes should be adopted in rural housing construction: first, farmers engaged in agriculture and developing courtyard economy are more suitable for vertical households, and the height should be controlled at 2-3 floors; Second, some farmers who are divorced from agricultural production are more suitable for horizontal households, and the height of each floor is controlled at 4-5 floors. Moreover, it is stipulated that the building height is 2.6-3 meters, and the maximum height is not more than 3.3 meters.
This is the principle standard given by the state, which allows all regions to formulate specific standards for self-built houses in rural areas according to local conditions. Therefore, we should all know that building houses in rural areas is not as casual as it used to be, and many areas have implemented relevant policies: villagers must apply for a Rural Construction Planning Permit, which clearly States the scope of land use, building height and number of floors. If it is found that it is illegal to carry out construction without planning permission or not according to planning, it will be investigated and dealt with according to law.
