| 1. | Policy BNV10 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan (adopted by the Borough Council on 23rd February 2001) states that "New development in or adjacent to a conservation area will be required to be sympathetic to the character or appearance of the area in terms of scale, height, form, massing, materials, siting and design". The proposal is contrary to this policy in that the detached shed is, by reason of its size, out of character with the surroundings and, in particular, the general scale and form of domestic outbuildings in this locality.
The proposal is also contrary to Policy HOU18 of the Local Plan, which relates to extensions and alterations to dwellings. In particular, it is considered that with regard to criterion (i) of the policy, the shed is not in keeping with the character of the area; and, in respect of criterion (iii), the proposal, in total, constitutes an overdevelopment of the site. |
