Emerging Policy DM30: The Density of Residential Development - The Written Ministerial Statement - March 2015 introduces new Nationally Described Space Standards for housing. These regulations are optional and the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) (ID: 56-002-20150327) requires LPAs to gather evidence to determine whether there is a need for additional standards and the viability implications. The Council has not demonstrated there is a need or provided evidence regarding viability and therefore we object to this policy.
