No.Condition Text
1.Because the site occupies a prominent corner location surrounded by residential and holiday accommodation it is considered that in the interests of the visual amenities of the area the site should not remain undeveloped for a prolonged period. In order to prevent such an unsatisfactory situation Policy TCM30 in the Modified Deposit Version of The Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan provides for the renewal of temporary consents for car parks on an annual basis for a period not normally exceeding 3 years from the date of the initial planning permission and requires that after 3 years the owner/applicant must demonstrate that alternative uses have been fully investigated and that parking is the only viable use of the site. The policy also requires any subsequent application to be conditioned to ensure that the site is adequately laid out, surfaced and landscaped. The proposed extension of the period of consent for the car park approved under Ref. No. 06/00/0082/CU is contrary to this policy and conflicts with the Council's objective to secure more formal car parking areas and landscape improvements.
