| 1. | Policy REC1 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-wide Local Plan states that planning permission will be given for sports and recreational facilities subject to certain criteria being met, including (C) the approach roads serving the development can accommodate satisfactorily the traffic likely to be generated by the proposal and (D) the development or associated activities would not be significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of those living in the area. Policy TCM13 of the plan states that development will not be permitted where it would endanger highway safety or the satisfactory functioning of the local highway network. in appropriate cases a traffic impact assessment will be required to demonstrate that development proposals can be satisfactorily accommodated within the highway network taking into account any improvements proposed. The private drive (The Loke) which serves the application site and four existing residential properties is considered to be unsuitable to cater for the additional traffic that would be generated by the proposal to open the facility to the public because of its length, lack of passing spaces and restricted width particularly at the junction with Station Road North. The proposal would thereby not meet the requirements of criterion (C) of Policy REC1 or Policy TCM13. The increased use of the site, especially the additional vehicle movements in The Loke would cause inconvenience and disturbance to those living nearby in conflict with the reqirements of criterion (D) of Policy REC1. |
