1.The application site is outside any area defined in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough - Wide Local Plan where residential development might be permitted. Outside these defined areas Policy HOU10 of the plan only permits the erection of a new dwelling if it is required in connection with either agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of an existing institution. In such cases it must be demonstrated that the new dwelling is essential in the interests of agriculture or good management and the proposal must have the unequivocal support of a suitably qualified independent appraisor. No evidence has been put forward in support of the application to satisfy the requirements of the policy the objective of which is to prevent unjustified development in the countryside.
2.The application site is within an area identified on the South West Area Proposals Map of the Borough-Wide Local Plan as being "landscape important to the Broadland Scene" being close to the Broads Authority Executive Area - which has National Park status. Policy NNV2 of the Local Plan seeks to protect such areas from development that would have a significant adverse impact on the landscape character and traditional built form of the area, or destroy or damage features of landscape importance which contribute to the character of the area. In this instance the erection of a dwelling on the site proposed would have a significant adverse impact on the undeveloped rural landscape character of the area.
3.Policy TCM13 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that development will not be permitted where it would endanger highway safety or the satisfactory functioning of the Local Highway network. The access to the site (New Road)is unsuitable to cater for any further development whatsoever, by reason of its restricted width, poor alignment and lack of passing provision. The proposal to develop the site by the erection of a dwelling is therefore contrary to the above mentioned policy.
