PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

the letter tells the OP what they can comment on.WHAT CAN I COMMENT ON?
You are of course free to comment on the application as you wish. However the Council can only give weight
to legitimate planning issues (as defined by the Courts) which commonly include:
· Land Use - is it suitable in the location proposed?
· Traffic - will it give rise to unacceptable levels of traffic? Is the access safe? Is there enough parking?
· Physical characteristics - are the appearance, scale, height and character acceptable?
· Is there potential for loss of light, privacy or overlooking to your property?
· Will the proposal be likely to give rise to additional noise or smells?0
