- The effects of the development on the living conditions of occupants of (a) 4 De Mauley Road, in relation to privacy and outlook, and (b) No 1, 48 Haven Road in relation to privacy, outlook, and noise and disturbance
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Canford Cliffs Village Conservation Area
What decided it
