From Free net encyclopedia

A material consideration in UK planning is an issue which planners are obliged to consult certain affected parties on, and take their views into account in any planning decision.Template:Gov-stub

Material considerations are issues that can be used as reasons to refuse a planning application. Material considerations include traffic impact, building design & layout, whether a proposal affects people's rights to privacy and daylight.

Issues such as loss of a view, or effect on property values are not material considerations.
