- Neighbours' amenity 37% That the neighbours keep reasonable light, outlook and privacy: no wall that looms over them, and no window that overlooks their home or garden more than the council judges acceptable.
- Insufficient information 17% Drawings and details enough to judge the work: what the council's own list of requirements asks for, and anything its policies need shown.
