1.The site is within the designated 'village development limit' where Policy HOU8 of the approved Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan permits the erection of individual houses providing criteria A to E of Policy HOU7 of the Plan is met.These criteria are as follows :- (A) The proposal would not be significantlydetrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement. (B) All public utilities are avaiable including foul or surface water disposal and there are no existing capacity restraints which could preclude development or in the case of surface water drainage, disposal can be acceptably achieved to a watercourse or by means of soakaways. (C) Suitable access arrangements can be made. (D) An adequate range of public transport, community, education, open space/play space and social facilities are available in the settlement. (E) The proposal would not be significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers or users of land. In order to provide for a higher quality of housing environment Policy HOU15 of the Local Plan states :- "All housing development proposals including replacement dwellings and changes of use 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." continued on next page :-
2.It is considered that the application site is of insufficient size to satisfactorily accommodate a dwelling and on-site parking facilities that would afford the standard of residential amenity normally required for new residential development and if approved the proposal would give rise to a cramped form of development which would be in conflict with criteria A and C of Policy HOU7 and contrary to the objective of Policy HOU15.
3.The site has a frontage to the A143 which is classified as a principle route under the Norfolk County Council Route Hierachy and is located adjacent to a bend in the road at a point where visibility is severely restricted in an easterly direction. The formation of a vehicular access to the site and the likelihood of service vehicles stopping on the A143 Beccles Road adjacent to the site would by virtue of the poor visibility result in hazard and danger to road users. This would be inconflict with Policy TCM13 of the approved Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which states :- "Development will not be permitted where it would endanger highway safety or the satisfactory functioning of the local highway network".
