Write to
Harborough District Council
Reply to the planning letter dated 22 April 2008 any time
before December 2008 stating your individual comments and observations.
Your friends and family can also write in objection as
well, as they enjoy the local area when they come to visit
you!. You need to make sure that you include the planning reference
number on all of your correspondence to the planning office.
Remember that the number of letters count, so write a separate
letter for every member of your family (rather than one letter
signed by several people).
This can be done via the internet
http://pa.harborough.gov.uk/PublicAccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=JZB0PUHW05100
or in writing to:
The Control Manager
Council Offices
Adam and Eve Street
Market Harborough

Examples of planning matters which comments can be made are;
·
The position of Government Planning Policy
·
Compliance (or otherwise) with Structure or Local Plan Policy
·
Impact upon listed buildings, Conservation Areas or mature
trees
·
Dominant and oppressive environment created by the proposal
·
Design out of keeping with the character of the area
·
Highway safety or traffic impact
·
Visual intrusiveness
·
Excessive noise or smell nuisance
·
Overlooking or loss of privacy
The following
are examples of issues that can not be taken into account:
·
Devaluation of property
·
Personal dislike of the applicant
·
Commercial harm to other business from competition
·
That lot of people have objected or supported an application
·
The work was commenced without planning permission
·
Land ownership disputes or matters referring to legal
covenants
·
Loss of private view
·
Matters covered by other legislation (e.g. Alcohol Licences or
Building Regulations)
·
Objections based on moral, racial or religious opinion
Because
sometimes issues of importance are private to individuals and
have a limited, if any, role to play in a planning decision it
is therefore important comments are relevant to the topics
described above which can be considered, for example; “the
visual impact of this development would be overwhelmingly out
of context with the surroundings......”
