space and landscaped areas as an integral part of the development;(h) that
the design and layout will not cause/create unacceptable adverse impacts on
existing or proposed properties in terms of overlooking, loss of light,
overshadowing, noise or other disturbance.

it is located within the flood plain and it does not merit being considered an
