the walls, with timber windows and doors (although powder coated aluminium
might be acceptable) and clay roof tiles. The use of brick or timber cladding for
the walls is unlikely to be supported in this context.
5.11 Side windows should be avoided due to the potential for the boundary walls to
appear oppressive and restrict outlook, as well as to prevent overlooking across to
neighbouring properties. The position of windows needs careful consideration.
5.12 The potential for existing rights to light should be explored, which will also determine
whether the proposed height/scale/massing is acceptable in terms of any impact
on the amenity of neighbouring habitable rooms.
5.13 Open-plan living/dining/kitchen areas on the ground floor may be necessary to
maximise light through the building.
5.14 The size of the dwelling(s) should comply with the Nationally Described Space
Standards (see the Technical Requirements as well as the GIA/storage requirements
in Table 1).
5.15 Dedicated provision for secure, conveniently located cycle parking will be
necessary in accordance with the adopted parking standards. This will need to be
fully enclosed (i.e. within a lockable store rather than under a canopy).
5.16 Refuse and recycling provision must be incorporated and will need to be close to
the waste collection point. The site plan will need to identify the location for storage.
