1.Policy HOU18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal :- (i) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (ii) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and, (iii) would not result in over-development of the site. The proposed development is deemed to be contrary to the objectives of this policy in that the construction of three dormers with associated sun decks would give rise to a discordant and obtrusive form of development which would be out of keeping with the design and character of the existing bungalows in the locality and thereby detrimental to the visual amenities of the street scene. Furthermore the proposal would introduce a significant degree of overlooking of the adjacent properties, hitherto absent, and an unacceptable loss of privacy and unneighborliness would result.
