| 1. | The proposal is, in principle, contrary to Policy HOU8 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan in that within the "Village Development Limit" for Winterton only individual dwellings or small groups of dwellings may be permitted. A small group in this instance is defined as being "developments generally comprising not more than 5 dwellings". Moreover, it is considered that the increase in the number of proposed dwellings over that for which approval has previously been given would, in view of the scale and massing of the semi-detached houses, constitute an overdevelopment of the site. The resultant effect would be that the proposal would be significantly detrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement, particularly the part comprising the Winterton Conservation Area within which the site is located, and that there would be an appreciable reduction in the quality of environment to be created contrary to criterion (A) of Policy HOU7 and Policies HOU15 and BNV10 of the Local Plan. |
