		+
		+	On what grounds can an objection to a planning application be made?
		+
		+	When making a decision on a planning application the LPA must take into account a number of factors including material considerations.
		+	Material considerations include matters such as:
		+	Overshadowing.
		+	Overlooking or loss of privacy.
		+	Adequate parking and servicing.
		+	Overbearing nature of proposal.
		+	Loss of trees.
		+	Loss of ecological habitats.
		+	Design and appearance.
		+	Layout and density of buildings.
		+	Effect on listed buildings and conservation areas.
		+	Access or highways safety.
		+	Traffic generation.
		+	Noise and disturbance from the proposed development.
		+	Disturbance from smells.
		+	Public visual amenity, but not loss of private individual’s view.
		+	Flood risk.
		+	Risk of creating a precedent
		+	An alternative potential future use is capable of being a material consideration (Carroll v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and others [2016] EWHC 2462 (Admin);).
		+	Factors which are not normally material considerations (and cannot usually be taken into account by the LPA) include:
		+	Loss of value to individual property.
		+	Loss of view.
		+	Boundary disputes including encroachment of foundations and gutters.
		+	Private covenants or agreements.
		+	The applicant’s personal conduct or history.
		+	The applicant’s motives.
		+	Potential profit for the applicant or from the application.
		+	Private rights to light.
		+	Private rights of way.
		+	Damage to property.
		+	Disruption during any construction phase.
		+	Loss of trade or competitors
		+	Age, health, status, background, work patterns of the objector.
		+	Time taken to do the work.
		+	Capacity of private drains.
		+	Building or structural techniques.
		+	Alcohol or gaming licences.

 '''Flâneur''' (or jetter): comes from the French verb flâner, which means "to stroll". A flâneur is thus a person who walks the city in order to experience it. While Baudelaire characterized the flâneur as a "gentleman stroller of city streets", he saw the flâneur as having a key role in understanding, participating in and portraying the city. A flâneur thus played a double role in city life and in theory, that is, while remaining a detached observer.
-The observer-participant dialectic is evidenced in part by the dandy culture. Highly self-aware, and to a certain degree flamboyant and theatrical, dandies of the mid-nineteenth century created scenes through outrageous acts like walking turtles on leashes down the streets of Paris.[1] Such acts exemplify a flâneur's active participation in and fascination with street life while displaying a critical attitude towards the uniformity, speed, and anonymity of modern life in the city.

 The concept of the flâneur is important in academic discussions of the phenomenon of modernity. While Baudelaire's aesthetic and critical visions helped open-up the modern city as a space for investigation, theorists, such as Georg Simmel, began to codify the urban experience in more sociological and psychological terms. In his essay "The Metropolis and Mental Life", Simmel theorizes that the complexities of the modern city create new social bonds and new attitudes towards others. The modern city was transforming humans, giving them a new relationship to time and space, inculcating in them a 'blasé attitude', and altering fundamental notions of freedom and being:

 Like the earlier flâneur, the Situationist dérive was a general reaction, manifested in the shadow of the Parisian landscape, as the casual stroller of flânerie moved towards the more directed urban pedestrian. Thomas F. McDonough recognized the similarities between the two movements, but also distinguishes the difference in how the two interpreted modernizing urban spaces:
-The dérive took place literally below the threshold of visibility, in the sense of being beyond what is visible to the voyeur’s gaze. As Debord describes it, the dérive replaced the figure of the voyeur with that of the walker: “One or more persons committed to the dérive abandon, for an undefined period of time, the motives generally admitted for action and movement, their relations, their labor and leisure activities, abandoning themselves to the attractions of the terrain and the encounters proper to it.” In allowing themselves “to be drawn by the solicitations of the terrain,” persons on the dérive escaped the imaginary totalizations of the eye and instead chose a kind of blindness.[1]
