Very approximately, one could work out the basic provision of shelter* (fully energy-saving etc) as (for example only) one room per person, + 1+ utility sub-rooms, eg:

(1)	Single person:	– Bedsit including kitchenette, wc and shower/bath** (communal bath[room] if shower)[.]
(2)	Couple:	– Bedroom and living-diner-kitchen; separate bath-wc[.]
(3)	Family of 3:	– 2 bedrooms + living-diner-kitchen + bathroom + wc.
(4)	Family of 4+:	– 3 bedrooms + (good sized) living-diner-kitchen + bathroom + wc (+? utility room).

I take the present construction cost of a modern 3-bedroom house built to proper environmental standards, and basically equipped and furnished (initially), [as] around £40,000, and assume that the smaller units scale down proportionately, ie around £10,000 per person.

I allow no land value as this is a result in most rural areas of planning restrictions. Governments will have to decide whether to override the restrictions or encourage people to move elsewhere by not building these units in these areas.***
