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 neighbouring dwellings. In particular, the use of the shared drive, which is in close proximity to Nos. 21 and 23 Station Road, would adversely affect the living conditions of the occupiers of those dwellings by reason of loss of privacy and/or the noise and general disturbance of vehicles and pedestrians passing close by. Furthermore, a one and a half storey dwelling, as proposed, with its consequent first floor windows would be an unneighbourly form of development in that it would be likely to result in the private garden areas of adjacent property being overlooked. 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 proposed development, which involves the sub-division of an existing plot, would be out of character and scale with the surroundings and could, if permitted, set a precedent for similar developments in this area of the village. Consequently, the Borough Council considers that the proposal is contrary to Policies HOU7/HOU8 (criterion (A)), HOU15 and HOU17 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
