        "text": "A granny flat, also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be attached to the main house or detached. Common uses include housing for family members, a rental unit for additional income, or a dedicated home office space. Understanding your primary intended use is a crucial decision factor, as it can influence design choices, size, and specific permitting requirements, particularly concerning separate entrances or kitchen facilities.",
