A byelaw terraced house is a terraced house built to comply with the 1875 Public Health Act in the United Kingdom usually in the period 1875 to 1918. The 1875 Public Health Act imposed a duty on local authorities to regulate housing by the use of byelaws, and subsequently all byelaw terraced housing was required to have its own privy, with rear access to allow the night soil to be collected. Byelaw terraced houses made up over 15% of the United Kingdom's housing stock in 2011. ==History== Between 1801 and 1901 the population increased fourfold, and during this period there was a migration from the land into towns, as the nature of work changed. In effect urban population increased tenfold, and there was a need to build houses for the urban worker. Benign employers build rows of back-to-back and through houses on the ground available. In older towns they were constrained by the mediaeval street patterns, and the need to fit as many houses as possible on the traditional long plots. The less fortunate lived in single roomed houses facing onto a communal courtyard where there were privies, a cesspit, a standpipe, high infant mortality, typhus and cholera. Edwin Chadwick's report on ''The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population'' (1842), researched and published at his own expense, highlighted the problems. Action was taken to introduce building control regulations. Specific boards of health were given the power to regulate housing standard in the 1848 Public Health Act and the 1858 Local government Act. These culminated in the 1875 Public Health Act. This Act remained in force until 1919 when they were superseded by the Housing, Town Planning, &c. Act 1919 with its aim of providing Homes fit for heroes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Byelaw terraced house」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
