What issues can I refer to when making representations?

When considering an application, the council has to balance people’s rights to use or develop their property against public interests and concerns. To do this we carefully weigh all material considerations. These include:

• Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy
• government guidance
• case law and previous decisions
• effect on the enjoyment of neighbouring properties
• design, appearance and layout
• conservation of the built and natural environment
• highway safety and traffic

The following are irrelevant in reaching planning decisions and therefore cannot be taken into account:

• loss of view over other people’s land
• effect on the value of property
• possible future development
• developer’s motives
• private property rights (e.g. boundaries or access)
• matters covered by other laws, e.g. alcohol licences
