  • The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The impact of the proposal on the well-being of bio-diversity and protected species
  • Whether any harms identified would be outweighed by other considerations so as to justify the development

What decided it
