| 1. | Policy HOU18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extentions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal :-
(i) Is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area,
(ii) Would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling, and
(iii) Would not result in over-development of the site.
The proposed extension is deemed to be contrary to Policy HOU18 criteria (i) & (ii) in that it would, by virtue of its mass and siting along the flank boundary of the plot, be out of keeping with the design and character of the existing dwellings in the locality and give rise to an obtrusive form of development which would have an adverse effect on the visual amenity of the occupiers of the neighbouring property and be detrimental to the appearance of the street scene.
Furthermore, if approved, the proposal would create an undesirable precedent for further similar developments in the locality the cumulative effect of which would significantly detract from the present character of this area of mainly semi-detached dwellings. |
