Representation Summary:

Policy ENV9 – Design Quality
The Policy states that all new residential development should meet Nationally Described Space Standards. The Planning Practice Guidance states that Local Planning Authorities should provide justification for requiring internal space standards “where a need for internal space standards is identified” (Reference ID: 56-020-20150327). We do not consider that the BCP or the Council’s evidence base has justified the requirement for NDSS.
