School places, children travelling farther, healthcare, community facilities and whether infrastructure would be funded and delivered in time.
Cumulative and sustainable growth

What is less likely to influence the decision?
Avoid spending most of your response on property values, loss of a private view, general dislike of new neighbours, personal criticism, unsupported claims or detailed house design when no detailed scheme exists.
Stronger: explain why the site may be unsuitable or less sustainable, using specific local experience or evidence.
