DBE9 Loss of amenity

The Council will require that a change or intensification of use, extension or new development does not result in an excessive loss of amenity for neighbouring properties. The factors which will be taken into account are:

  • visual impact;
  • overlooking;
  • loss of daylight/sunlight; and
  • noise, smell or other disturbance.
