Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU18 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan (adopted by the Borough Council on 23rd February 2001) 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. Policy BNV18 0f the plan states that the Council will require alterations and extensions to buildings to be sympathetic to the character of the building to be extended and to its setting. The proposed substantial side roof extension, which would run for almost the entire length of the existing bungalow, would by reason of its size, design and external appearance be out of scale and character with the existing bungalow and the immediately adjoining bungalows and thereby be contrary to criterion (i) of Policy HOU18 and Policy BNV18 of the Local Plan. The creation of first floor rooms with their consequent windows and especially the proposed rear patio doors and balcony would introduce a hitherto absent and unacceptable degree of overlooking of adjacent private garden areas; moreover, the increased height and bulk of the north side of the building would lead to a significant increase in overshadowing of the bungalow to the north of the application site. The proposals would therefore be contrary to criterion (ii) of Policy HOU18 of the Local Plan.
