What is an objection?
We can only accept objections if they address relevant planning considerations including:
- Is the new building or proposed use appropriate to the area?
- Is the appearance of the new building satisfactory?
- Will the development cause pollution, noise, flooding or other environmental problems?
- Will there be loss of light to important rooms?
- Will the development overlook and create loss of privacy?
- Will the building appear bulky, overbearing or out of scale with neighbouring properties?
