Consideration	Examples
Contrary to the Development Plan
Road safety, traffic and parking issues	There will be a loss of circa 65 parking spaces – on an average day there are up to 20 vans using the car park, whilst the companies provide services to those living in the Merchant City. There is no suitable alternative parking available within a reasonable distance of Ingram St
Residential amenity (loss of privacy, overshadowing, loss of daylight, etc)	Loss of privacy for residents of 70 Ingram St and Albion Gate, as the proposed Development will have large windows that will eliminate the privacy the residents currently enjoy
Appearance (design, materials, scale, massing, etc)	The materials proposed do not blend with any other building in this area of the merchant city, which is predominantly red or blond sandstone.
Impact on the character and setting of a listed buildings and/or conservation areas	The Merchant City is a conservation area, and the site is framed by the Ramshorn Kirk and the City Halls/Old Fruitmarket. The proposed development will impinge on the
Impact on natural environment	Loss of mature trees and habitats that have formed in the grounds over the years

These are only examples – your objection must be in your words – template or form letter objections will be grouped together and counted as one.
