Representation Summary:

We note that this policy mentions outlook and mentions a garden area ratio under ‘external space.’ However, has this been tested against the proposed net densities of 35 dwellings per hectare?

We also feel that the suggested 21m distance between dwellings from principal elevations should be subject to further review because it could result in excessively wide streets which may affect developments achieving net density targets. Moreover, it would not accommodate the sorts of street hierarchies that would typically be advocated in larger developments with multiple character areas. Furthermore, such separation distances could result in wide carriageways appearing over dominant throughout schemes.
