The impact on existing communities should be the priority. New developments should not negatively affect existing communities; they should improve / benefit existing communities. For example, existing cul de sacs should not become through roads. Existing through roads should not become rat runs. The existing privacy of residences/gardens should be maintained (new developments should not overlook existing developments). New developments should be separated from existing developments by adequate distance and plant cover. Existing residences should not experience increased levels of noise, light, or environmental pollution. Safe and efficient walking and cycling routes should be a priority.
