Admissable grounds to object to development on a park

[Coco H]

I would like to know what the admissable grounds to object to a planning proposal to build housing on a children's play area.
There is no point objecting on non-admissable ground as far I understand things.

Bad day.


The Council can only take into account 'material planning considerations' when looking at your comments. The most common of these (although not an exhaustive list) are shown below:

•Loss of light or overshadowing
•Overlooking/loss of privacy
•Visual amenity (but not loss of private view)
•Adequacy of parking/loading/turning
•Highway safety
•Traffic generation
•Noise and disturbance resulting from use
•Hazardous materials
•Smells
•Loss of trees
•Effect on listed building and conservation area
•Layout and density of building
•Design, appearance and materials
•Landscaping
•Road access
•Local, strategic, regional and national planning policies
•Government circulars, orders and statutory instruments
•Disabled persons' access
•Compensation and awards of costs against the Council at public enquiries
•Proposals in the Development Plan
•Previous planning decisions (including appeal decisions)
•Nature conservation
•Archaeology
We cannot take into account matters which are sometimes raised but are not normally planning considerations such as:

•The perceived loss of property value
•Private disputes between neighbours
•The loss of a view
•The impact of construction work or competition between firms
•Restrictive covenants
•Ownerships disputes over rights of way
•Fence lines etc
•Personal morals or views about the applicant.
Please note: it is important to understand that the material considerations relevant to any particular application will need to be weighed in the final decision process according to their seriousness and relative importance.

Read the Local plan. It's likely to have a lot to say about amenity land and where development are permitted and not. If you can find policies in your favour, quote them. Will have much more effect if you can help the planners find a reason to say no, that they can rely on.
