| 1. | Policy HOU9 of the Modified Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan (and confirmed in Policy HOU10 in the Plan which was adopted by the Borough Council on 23rd February 2001) states that outside areas where housing development may be permitted, planning permission for new residential development will only be given if required in connection with agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or tourist facilities or the expansion of existing institutions. The proposal would be contrary to this policy in that the dwelling would be sited in the countryside outside an existing settlement. The evidence that has been put forward in respect of the need for a dwelling (or dwellings) in this location is insufficient to justify a departure from this policy the objective of which is to control development in the countryside. |
| 2. | Policy H8 of the Norfolk Structure Plan states that, outside towns and villages, planning permission for new residential development will not normally be given. However, permission may be given for dwellings connected with agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or tourist facilities or the expansion of existing institutions if it can be demostrated that the need for the development could not be met within an existing settlement and there are no over-riding envoronmental objections. The proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Structure Plan in that the dwelling would be sited in the countryside outside an existing settlement. The evidence that has been put forward in respect of the need for a dwelling in this location is insufficient to justify a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside. |
