(1) Potential impacts on the quality of air, surface water and groundwater adjacent to and/or directly affected by the proposed development (e.g. amount and nature of all industrial and chemical wastes generated).
(2) On-site and/or off-site flooding and erosion Best Management Practices.
(3) Off-site hazards from radiological emissions or other hazardous materials.
(4) Adverse impacts on temperature and wind conditions on the site and adjacent properties.
(5) Impact on solar access of adjacent properties.
(6) Off-site noises and vibrations.
(7) Lighting impacts.
(8) Evaluation of adequacy of existing or proposed systems and services for water supply and disposal of liquid and solid wastes.
(9) Impacts on historical (properties, districts, areas) natural, cultural and archaeological resources.
