| 1. | The proposal, which involves the sub-division of an existing plot, constitutes an overdevelopment of the site that would be out of character and scale with the surroundings. In particular, the proposed chalet bungalow on plot 2 would clearly project beyond the existing (splayed) building line at the junction of Gannet Road and California Avenue. Splayed building lines are a feature of this locality and the development, as proposed, would have a detrimental effect on the appearance of the street scene. Furthermore, in view of their siting and consequent first floor windows, the proposed chalet bungalows would adversely affect the residential amenities of the occupiers of No. 5 Gannet Road and No. 43 California Avenue by reason of overshadowing and overlooking. In terms, therefore, of the likely effect of the development on the character of this locality and the amenities currently enjoyed by adjoining residents, the proposal is considered to be contrary to the provisions of Policies HOU7/8 and HOU17 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
