Updated Sunlight/Daylight report

Since the initial Sunlight/Daylight Report was undertaken, two balconies within the eastern pavilion have been relocated to reduce overlooking of neighbouring properties. An updated Sunlight/Daylight Report has therefore been provided for units within the development.

The report concludes that one additional room would not meet the combined BRE target for a kitchen/dining/living room, namely in unit 10 located on the ground floor. This room will achieve an average lux of 150 rather than the 200lux target for a combined living area. BRE guidelines state that a living room independent of a kitchen should achieved 150 lux. Whilst amendments could be made to subdivide off the kitchen in order to meet the combined target, this is considered to result in a reduction in the quality of the standard of accommodation generally.

Overall, as a result of the amendments one additional room would not meet the BRE guidelines but across the scheme 82 out of the 84 windows would pass, which as previously noted in the report, is considered to result in a good standard of accommodation across the development.  

Updated Overheating assessment

This updated report confirms that dwellings within the development are predicted to satisfy the overheating risk criteria.

Officer note: no additional issues raised that have not already been addressed in the Officer Report.

Consultee comment from Sustainable Transport:

No objection, however further/revised details of cycle parking should be secured by condition and the proposed location for the storage of refuse and recycling bins might obstruct the pedestrian access to the adjoining site.

Officer note: These two issues are already addressed within the officer report. The proposed cycle parking would not comply with SPD14 and no better location is identified. It has therefore been recommended that cycle parking is not secured by condition, however a condition has been recommended to secure a revised location for the refuse and recycling bins.
