- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to external amenity space
- whether the proposed development would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the Ramsar
- whether the proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the safety of users of Longstrings Lane
What decided it
The proposed Orchard Store did not form part of the outline planning permission and therefore the reserved matters application was not authorised by the outline permission.
