There is a danger that the minimum standards for living accommodation and amenity space could become the maximum. As long as the proposals meet the guidelines then they are considered acceptable. Small, rabbit hutch type buildings crammed together with little space between them for landscaping that would break up the mass of brickwork seem to be the norm. Garden areas of 30m2 are not sufficient for family use. Modern developments do not seem to include public open space, which would make up for the lack of private space. Children need somewhere save to play.
