What you can comment on

Hackney Planners can only take into account material planning considerations.
These cover a wide range of issues including –
• loss of privacy,
• loss of trees,
• loss of daylight,
• visual appearance,
• traffic generation and road safety,
• noise or smell,
• something contrary to Council policy and/or London Plan policy,
• impact on Listed Buildings and/or Conservation Areas,
• impact of increased activity.

Matters that are not material to planning application assessment
and cannot be considered are –
• requirements under building regulations or other non-planning laws
such as structural stability, fire precaution or the like,
• private issues between neighbours such as party wall disputes,
damage to property, private rights of way, covenants or the like,
• commercial competition,
• property values,
• loss of a view,
• alternative types of development you might prefer.
