| 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 any "Village Development Limit" as defined in the Local Plan. Moreover, no need for the dwelling has been demonstrated to satisfy the criteria of the above policy and there is, therefore, insufficient justification to warrant a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside, including Policy NNV2 of the Local Plan which seeks to maintain and enhance the landscape quality of the neighbouring Broads area. |
| 2. | The proposed access is unsuitable to cater for the development proposed by reason of its severely restricted levels of visibility at its junction with the B1152 - Main Road. It is also likely that the proposed dwelling would be serviced directly from the B1152 and, whilst visiting the premises, service vehicles would stop on the B1152 at a position where the volume of traffic is extremely high. Consequently, if permitted, the proposal would be likely to result in hazard and danger to road users and would, thereby, prejudice highway safety contrary to the objective of Policy TCM13 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
