We agree with the need to provide suitable amenity standards for residents. However, a number of the policy points are replicated elsewhere, for example in relation to noise and lighting requirements.
In respect of Space Standards, whilst the phase 2 of Chichester is intending to meet NDSS standards, any such policy requirement needs appropriate justification as set out in footnote 49 of the NPPF.
In respect of separation distances, it is suggested that the 21 meter back to back distance be clarified that this is between first floor windows. Lower separation distances may be acceptable between single storey dwellings such as bungalows.
