1.Policy HOU10 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that permission for new dwellings in the countryside will only be given if required in connection with agriculture, forestry, organised recreation, or the expansion of existing institutions. The proposal is contrary to this policy in that the site is outside the "Village Development Limit" for Fleggburgh as defined in the Local Plan. Moreover, the points that have been put forward in support of the proposal are insufficient to justify a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside.
2.The site of the proposal is within an area designated in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan both as 'Landscape Important to the Broadland Scene' and 'Landscape Important to the Setting of Settlements'. Whilst, to a degree, the site is screened by existing planting, the erection of additional dwellings in the location proposed would consolidate a small area of development in the countryside outside the settlement boundary for Fleggburgh as defined in the Local Plan. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to Policies NNV2 and NNV5 of the Local Plan in that essential need for the dwellings has not been demonstrated and that the development would have a significant adverse impact on the landscape character of the area.
3.The Borough Council further considers that the proposal constitutes an overdevelopment of the site which would result in detriment to the residential amenities of adjacent dwellings and unsatisfactory living conditions for the occupants of the proposed bungalows. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to Policy HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan, the objective of which is to provide for a higher quality housing environment. continued on next page :-
