| 1. | In the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan Policy HOU18 states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal :
(a) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area;
(b) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and,
(c) would not result in an over-development of the site.
The proposal is deemed to be contrary to Policy HOU18 in that the proposed roof extension, which would project above the ridge of the existing roof of the dwelling, would, by reason of its size, design and external appearance, be out of keeping with the design and character of the existing dwelling and the locality. Furthermore, if approved, the roof extension would give rise to an alien and obtrusive feature which would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the street scene. |
