No.Condition Text
1.The proposal, which involves the development of an area of back garden with no proper road frontage, constitutes a sub-standard layout of land which would result in significant detriment to the amenities of the neighbouring dwellings. In particular, the use of the shared access, which would be in close proximity to Nos. 18 and 20 Station Road, would adversely affect the living conditions of the occupiers of those dwellings by reason of loss of privacy and the noise and general disturbance of vehicles and pedestrians passing close by. Furthermore, the proposed chalet bungalow with its consequent first floor windows is an unneighbourly form of development in that it would result in the private garden areas of adjacent property being overlooked, i.e. principally the gardens of Nos. 20 and 22 Station Road. The Borough Council considers, therefore, that the proposal is contrary to Policies HOU7/HOU8 (criteria (C) and (E)) and HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
2.The site access is unsuitable to cater for any additional development whatsoever by reason of its severely restricted visibility at its junction with the C460 - Station Road. If permitted, the proposal would be likely to result in unacceptable additional hazard and danger to road users and would, thereby, prejudice highway safety contrary to the objectives of Policies HOU7/HOU8 (criterion (C)), HOU15 and TCM13 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
