1.Policy HOU18 of the Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the privacy and amenity of neighbours are adequately safeguarded. The extension or alteration must :- (a) Be in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (b) Not significantly affect the amenities of a neighbouring dwelling ; and (c) not result in overdevelopment of the site's curtilage. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy HOU18 in that addition of substantial extensions including the provision of accommodation in the roof space and sun deck will result in a form of development that will be out of keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and result in an overdevelopment of the site's curtilage. Moreover Policy BNV18 of the Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan states that the Council will require alterations and extensions to buildings to be sympathetic to the character of the building to be extended and to its setting. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of the policy in that the addition of flat roofed dormers in the roof and a sun deck are not considered to be sympathetic to the character of the building to be extended and its setting.
