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 Hemsby as defined in the Local Plan. Moreover, the evidence that has been put forward in respect of the need for the dwelling is insufficient to justify a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside, including Policy NNV2 of the Local Plan which seeks to maintain and enhance the landscape quality of the neighbouring Broads area.
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, i.e. Policy NNV5, in that the Borough Council considers that essential need has not been established and that the erection of a dwelling in the location proposed would result in a consolidation of a small area of residential development detached from the main settlement which lies to the east.
3.In the absence of a public sewer in the vicinity of the site, the submitted details fail to show an adequate means of foul drainage for the proposed development. continued on next page :-
