| 1. | This proposal is located on land outside current development limits and some distance from local schools. It is considered contrary to Great Yarmouth Borough Council saved policy HOU10 where permission for dwellings in the Countryside will only be given where required in connection with agriculture, forestry or other listed criteria and Adopted Core Strategy policy CS1 where growth is required to be sustainable by ensuring that new development is of a scale and in a location that complements the character and supports the function of individual settlements; and policy CS2 where in the countryside, development will be limited to conversions/replacement dwellings/buildings and schemes that help to meet rural needs; and the NPPF, as being outside the development limits and unsustainable location for this scale of development, notwithstanding the "tilted balance" where the numerical assumptions underlying this apparent shortfall in housing supply relate to a local method of calculation that is almost five years old and where the newer national methodology set out in the NPPF indicates a lower demand and where recent supply levels and approvals in advance of the emergent local plan provide comfort that this unallocated land need not be given up to development contrary to the aspirations of the local community. |
| 2. | The proposal site expands the village of Scratby away from the Beach Road and onto the Scratby Road, which has functioned to by pass the village to date and the proposal creates an intrusion into open countryside south of the village where development on Scratby Road will further the coalescence of Scraby with Caister contrary to the aims of the Landscape Character Assessment, where open views towards the coast are considered to have value and Policy CS11 (L) where strategic gaps help retain the separate identity and character of settlements in close proximity to each other. |
| 3. | The proposal is sited within the area categorised by DEFRA as high quality Grade 1 agricultural land (best and most versatile), and therefore contrary to Great Yarmouth Borough Council Core Strategy policy CS6(j), CS11(j) where the protection and where possible enhancement of high quality agricultural land is cited and Policy CS12 (g) Recognising the need to protect the best and most versatile agricultural land as a valuable resource for future generations and NPPF paragraph 170(b) |
