DBE8 Private amenity space
New residential developments will be expected to provide private amenity space. This will usually:
- be at the rear of dwellings or flats;
- be directly adjacent to and easily accessible from the relevant buildings;
- be of a size, shape and nature which enables reasonable use;
- have an aspect which ensures that reasonable parts receive sunlight throughout the year;
- not have an excessive slope in its finished form; and
- achieve privacy on a continuing basis.
