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 and isolated from any other concentration of development. Moreover, the case that has been put forward in support of the proposal is 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 as "Landscape Important to the Setting of Settlements" where the Borough Council will permit development provided a developer can demonstrate essential need or that the development would not impinge on the physical separation between settlements, or give rise to any other significant adverse impact. The proposal is contrary to this policy (Policy NNV5) in that the Borough Council considers that essential need has not been established and that the erection of two dwellings in the location proposed would consolidate a small scatter of development in the countryside beyond the main built-up area of the village to the detriment of the setting of the settlement. Furthermore, the site falls within an area designated in the Local Plan as "Landscape Important to the Broadland Scene" where the Borough Council will only permit development that would not have a significant adverse impact on the landscape character of the area (Policy NNV2 refers). For the reasons already given the proposal is also considered to be contrary to this policy. continued on next page :-
3.Tretts Lane is unsuitable to serve the development proposed by reason of its restricted width, lack of passing provision, poor alignment and the severely restricted visibility at its junction with the C457 - Rollesby Road. Consequently, if permitted, the proposal would be likely to result in hazard and danger to road users contrary to Policy TCM13 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan, the objective of which is to ensure that new development does not prejudice highway safety or the free flow of traffic.
