7A Ealing Local Policy - Amenity
Planning Decisions
- Development which in the course of its operations will cause emissions of any sort must;
- not erode the amenity of surrounding uses or the site itself
- take all reasonable steps to ameliorate these emissions
- provide all necessary evidence of mitigation that is requested by the local planning authority
- The requirement to properly regulate and ameliorate emissions applies also to functionally separate areas within a given development, for instance between separate flats or dwellings.
- Sensitive uses will not be permitted where these would achieve acceptable levels of amenity only by substantially sealing residents or users off from their surrounding environment.
- Development that is sensitive to operational emissions of a particular type must avoid locating in areas in which there are established concentrations of such emissions that cannot be properly addressed through the design process.
