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
