Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU18 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal is; (a) in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (b) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and (c) would not result in over-development of the site. Policy NNV23 states that the council will grant consent for the cutting down, topping, lopping or uprooting of a tree protected by a tree preservation order or within a conservation area only if the work is necessary to secure: (a) the proper pruning of the tree for good arboricultural reasons; or (b) the removal of the tree so that the survival or growth prospects of other protected trees are enhanced. The proposed garage would be sited in a very prominent position on this corner site which contains a number of mature trees (protected by a tree preservation order) which make a significant contribution to the character and appearance of this part of Hopton. The Local Planning Authority considers that the garage, being an unduly conspicuous feature in the street scene would be detrimental to the character of the area and thereby contrary to criterion (a) of Policy HOU18. The proposal would require the removal of one tree and be likely to prejudice the survival of some of the other trees and would therefore be contrary to Policy NNV23.
