| 1. | Policy SHP6 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan (2001) states that, subject to highway and environmental considerations, the Council will permit the provision of new local shopping facilities and non-retail commercial uses in neighbourhood and village shopping centres provided that the development is of a scale compatible with the size and character of the centre.
Local shopping centres are defined in the Borough-Wide Local Plan as being mainly in "high street" locations where they are easily accessible by car, public transport, cycle or on foot and provide a good range of shopping, financial services, social and public facilities.
In this instance, the premises are located within a terrace of houses divorced from the local centre. Moreover, in view of the likely detrimental effect on the occupiers of adjacent properties, in terms of noise and general disturbance, and the lack of on-site provision for the parking of customers' cars or delivery vehicles, it is considered that the premises are an inappropriate location for the type of use intended and that the proposal is, therefore, contrary to the provisions of the above policy. |
