The Council cannot refuse or approve a proposal simply because many people oppose or support it. Planning applications must be assessed against local and national planning policies. The Council can consider issues such as: undue loss of privacy or overlooking; loss of sunlight/daylight; effect on trees; access or traffic problems; need for car parking; unacceptable or incompatible use; noise; fumes; excessive height or bulk buildings; inappropriate design/layout.
