It's a long story but my neighbour has decided to apply for planning of a rear extension. The councils planning develpment control websites mentions 'material planning considerations' for points of objection. They list a couple of points that may be considered for objection grounds but I would like to know where a full list is avaliable. Any Ideas?
Why? - if *you* *personally* can't think of a *plausible* objection as to why someone shouldn't build an extension, why do you want a list of possible objections?
He's jealous - simple as that. Probably retired and nothing better to do than be bitter. I hate sad old people like that. They hate others having something they can't have, didn't have first, can't afford or didn't ever work hard for.
Much the same tone as your posting in another newsgroup yesterday, isn't it?
You need to review the local development plan and consider the proposal in context with the councils planning policy.
There is no 'full list' of objections.
Most of your possible objections will come under 'loss off amenity'. This will include privacy, use of your garden, casting shows, blocking views etc.
But you can object on any grounds you like, it is just that the planners can only consider objections on planning grounds to be relevant. So throw all your objections in.
But concentrate on how the development will affect your use of your property. Not the 100 reasons why you don't like the neighbour.
Also bear in mind that he may have permitted development rights, which will mean he may be able to build without a formal application anyway. So it is best to work with him and the planners, or else you could potentially end up witha worse extension over which the planers have no control.

Don't be daft - there are all sorts of things that may come about from building work.
E.
The Op is asking for a full list of possible objections, in other words, they have already decided they are going to object, they just can't think of what to object to - yet
I don't think that you can draw that conclusion at all.
There are some things which may be objectionable to the individual or even reduce the value of their property, but which may not be grounds for planning objection according to the planning rules, local plan and so on.
If the OP is going to lodge an objection, then it makes sense that he argues his point based on what can be considered (and all that is relevant that can be considered) rather than including material that can't although it may seem reasonable to a casual observer.
IMO this is precisely not what to do. You need to discard all irrelevant (as far as planners are concerned) objections - see my previous post - and focus on a few key ones that really stand up.
