(a) by adding wholly in respect of one side of the building, or partly one side and partly the other, an area obtained by applying the formula-

in which-

W1 × W2

4

W1 and W2 are the widths of the 2 streets, respectively, forming the corner; or

(b) where the 2 streets are not of equal width, by adding wholly in respect of the side of the building abutting, fronting or projecting over the narrower of the 2 streets, an area obtained by applying the formula-

in which-

7 (WW - WN)

WW and WN are the widths of the wider and the narrower, respectively, of the 2 streets forming the corner.

(4) For the purposes of this regulation-

"corner" means an intersection of 2 streets where the angle of intersection of lines drawn along the centre of such streets is less than 140° measured on the side nearer to the building;

"frontage" in relation to a building, means that boundary of a site upon which the building is erected which abuts or fronts a street and includes any service lane or other opening within such boundary;

"street" means a street or service lane at least 4.5 m wide;

"street shadow area" in relation to a building, means an area on the surface of a street contained by-

(a) a line formed by the projection from every part of the side of the building abutting, fronting or projecting over such street of planes at an angle of 76° from the horizontal from the highest point on such building or on any projection therefrom of a permanent nature, from which such planes could be drawn uninterrupted by any other part of that building;

(b) a line formed by the frontage of the building; and

(c) lines drawn from each extremity of the frontage of the building at right angles to the centre line of the street.
