(f) Standard N28 (Private Open Space)
(g) Standard B29 (Solar Access and Open Space)
3. The minimal first floor setbacks of the development to the secluded private open space of the adjoining properties to the south, east and west could cause the development to have a etrimental impact of the amenity of those properties.

5. The proposal is an over development.
