ABC planning officers wrote in their report: “Officers are of the opinion that the proposed development will not be out of character when set in/against the general pattern of the existing immediate and wider development.
“Creating Places provides a figure that private amenity space for family-sized homes should be around the 70m² area, with no dwellings having private amenity areas less than 40m².
“In this case, the private amenity space identified in the layout plan demonstrates all plots within this development are over 70m² per dwelling, with the smallest having 124m² and the largest, 359m², the average being 172m².
“All dwellings will enjoy ample private amenity space and well above required standards.”
