Proper grounds for objection

¨ Conflict with local planning guidelines, i.e. Greenbelt land

¨ Conflict with Council’s statutory duty (Countryside Act 1968) to preserve and enhance the countryside

¨ Safety considerations, i.e. proximity of major roads, inadequacy of existing roads for construction traffic

¨ Ecological/habitat/archaeological/historical importance of the site

¨ Environmental concerns – tiny amount of clean electricity generated in relation to huge landscape damage, destruction of natural habitat

¨ Loss of visual amenity – development would have dramatic impact on character and appearance of the area and would overwhelm its existing quality

¨ Unacceptable noise levels at properties within 1.5km

This is not a comprehensive list but may be helpful. Please include details and further information to support your own views on the reasons most important to you. Please ensure you quote the Planning Application No: 07/01338/FUL.
