Part 7 of policy ENV9 focuses on avoiding adverse impacts from new development on the living environments of existing residential properties, including sunlight and daylight, artificial lighting, vibration and wind. New development that is not appropriately located and/or well designed can adversely impact nearby areas of public realm, green and blue infrastructure and open space in many of these ways. We suggest that either a point 8 should be added to policy ENV9 to address adverse impacts on such areas or point 7 should be amended to indicate that development will need to avoid adversely impacting areas of public realm, green & blue infrastructure or open space in these ways (where appropriate).
