MCU14/0051 & OPW14/0274: Planning Report

       The proposal will not result in an unreasonable reduction of access to
        sunlight to adjoining residences; and
       Waste storage areas will be provided between dwelling units 1 & 2 as well as
        3 & 4 and are considered to be sufficiently screened to provide for attractive
