How do we assess a planning application?
We have to assess all planning applications and decide on ‘proper’ planning grounds. These might include:
- possible loss of light
- possible loss of privacy as a result of the proposed development
- effect upon highway safety
- effect upon parking and traffic issues
- proposals effect upon the design and appearance of an area, or on listed buildings and/or conservation areas close by
- requirement to take into account local and national planning policies and government guidance
We cannot take into account the following as a basis for a planning objection:
- the developer’s motives or morals
- loss of view
- boundary and ownership disputes
- private rights of way and covenants
- effect upon property values
- possible future development
