We object to the approach on space standards due to the lack of evidence regarding the impact of this on the deliverability of schemes. The relevant NDSS Study (August 2019) and the Interim Viability Study (November 2019) make unsubstantiated assumptions and do not provide the level of evidence that is required by the NPPF. Further work is necessary to justify the inclusion of the NDSS as a mandatory requirement.
Furthermore, the blanket requirement of this standard does not allow for the site-specific considerations to be taken into account and therefore a further amendment to allow for such eventualities is recommended.
