Justification 10.2: Planning Consideration of Neighbouring Development

The potential adverse impact of existing or approved facilities upon neighbouring land uses will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications for the development of that land. Planning control must consider the acceptability of development in proximity to potential sources of pollution. Consideration will therefore need to be given to the sensitivity of development proposed in the vicinity of waste management facilities and WWTWs, particularly sensitive uses such as residential development or areas of public use.
