We could not find any evidence to support the level of private outdoor space being proposed in this policy. The size of any private outdoor space should be left to the discretion of the developer who are aware of the demands of their customers.

Therefore, we would suggest that whilst we accept that some private outdoor amenity space will be required the Council should not set out minimum specifications for such space.
