A1 Managing the Impact of Development
The Council will seek to protect the quality of life of occupiers and neighbours. We will grant permission for development unless this causes unacceptable harm to amenity.
We will:
- seek to ensure that the amenity of communities, occupiers and neighbours is protected;
- seek to ensure development contributes towards strong and successful communities by balancing the needs of development with the needs and characteristics of local areas and communities;
- resist development that fails to adequately assess and address transport impacts affecting communities, occupiers, neighbours and the existing transport network; and
- require mitigation measures where necessary.
The factors we will consider include:
- visual privacy, outlook;
- sunlight, daylight and overshadowing;
- artificial lighting levels;
- transport impacts, including the use of Transport Assessments, Travel Plans and Delivery and Servicing Management Plans;
- impacts of the construction phase, including the use of Construction Management Plans;
- noise and vibration levels;
- odour, fumes and dust;
- microclimate;
- contaminated land; and
- impact upon water and wastewater infrastructure.
