POLICY BP8: PROTECTING RESIDENTIAL AMENITY

All developments (including alterations, extensions, conversions and infill developments) are expected to:

Have regard to the local character of the area and help to create a sense of local identity, distinctiveness and place.
Not lead to significant overlooking (loss of privacy and immediate outlook) or overshadowing (loss of daylight and sunlight).
Ensure existing and proposed occupiers are not exposed to unacceptable levels of pollution that may arise from the development. This can include noise, smoke, fumes, refuse and/or lighting during construction and occupation.
Ensure existing and proposed occupiers are not exposed to unacceptable levels of general disturbance arising from the development, through such activities as traffic movements to, from and within the site during construction and occupation.
