Comment on planning applications
You can make comments on planning issues only as we can't consider non-planning issues. This means we can't refuse a scheme because of construction noise, but we can restrict working hours to reduce disturbance to neighbours.
What issues we consider as planning issues:
- The effect on a neighbour's daylight, sunlight or privacy
- The impact on traffic, road access, parking and servicing
- The appearance, bulk or height of the proposed development
- Impact like noise generated by the proposal
- The potential loss of a valued local service or use such as a shop or a residential flat
What issues we consider as non-planning issues:
- The effect on property values
- Competition between rival businesses
- Party wall disputes and fire escape matters
- Moral and religious issues
