Planning considerations
When you comment, we can only take certain issues into account. These include:
- national and local planning policies
- Government planning guidance
- highway safety and traffic issues
- noise, disturbance, and smells
- design, appearance, and layout
- conservation of historic buildings or trees
- residential amenities or environmental impact
We cannot consider issues such as:
- loss of view
- boundary and ownership disputes
- private rights of way and covenants
- the effect upon property values
- possible future development
- problems unrelated to the proposal (for example, noise from existing activities)
