No.	Condition Text
1.	Paragraph 3.6.5 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states :- "Whilst the level of "on street" parking, its control and management are the the responsibility of the police and highway authorities, "off street parking provision lies largely with the Borough Council which wishes to ensure that the overall number of both private and public off street parking spaces will not be reduced below present (1993) levels. The proposed development is contrary to this objective in that it would result in the loss of the existing seven parking spaces the provision of which were required as a condition to the planning permission for the conversion of 16 Middle Market Road into 6 flats and the erection of 2 flats on the on the land adjoining the west side of the application site, which was granted under Reference No.06/91/0111/F on 21st. March 1991. Moreover the proposal would be in conflict with the terms of that condition which, in the interests of highway safety, requires the parking and turning area not to be used for any purpose other than for the parking and turning of vehicles in connection with the residential accommodation approved.
2.	In order to provide for a higher quality of housing environment Policy HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that all housing development proposals will be assessed according to their effect on residential amenity, the character of the environment, traffic generation and services. They will also be assessed according to the quality of the environment to be created, including appropriate car parking and servicing provision. It is considered that the proposed development is contrary to the objectives of this policy in that, in addition to the loss of parking provision, the quality of the environment would be significantly impaired because of the small amenity area proposed which is deemed to be inadequate to serve the existing 6 flats at 16 Middle Market Road and the two flats proposed and because the design of the proposed building is not in keeping with the character of the area and thereby detrimental to the appearance of the street scene.
