Planning considerations backlog

This is the list of planning considerations on the backlog.

What is a planning consideration?

A planning consideration is something specific to an area that may impact the outcome of a planning decision.

For example, a national planning policy impacts what can be built across the whole of England, and a conservation area restricts what can be developed in that area.
