How We Work Together

These are the most common reasons for a refused application 

Loss of light or overshadowing, Overlooking, Loss of privacy, Adequate parking, Highway safety or simply the wrong design

Examples include, if the proposed developments would impede or impact natural light, view or overshadow. Other common reasons will be loading and turning, or it will generate a significant amount of traffic or impact road user safety. 

The neighbouring owners around your site will be notified when you submit a planning application, but that shouldn't be the first they hear of it. Objections will slow down the planning process because the planning department must consider them properly and that takes time. 

This is a term used to describe the effect when a development or building affords an outlook over adjoining land or property which causes a loss of privacy 

The 45-degree line on the elevation plan should be drawn diagonally down at an angle of 45 degrees from the near top corner of the building towards the nearest neighbouring window. If both lines cross the centre point of the nearest neighbouring window, then it is likely that overshadowing will occur.
