| 1. | The application site is outside any area defined in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough - Wide Local Plan where residential development might be permitted. Outside these defined areas Policy HOU10 of the plan only permits the erection of a new dwelling if it is required in connection with either agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of an existing institution. In such cases it must be demonstrated that the new dwelling is essential in the interests of agriculture or good management and the proposal must have the unequivocal support of a suitably qualified independent appraisor. No evidence has been put forward in support of the application to satisfy the requirements of the policy the objective of which is to prevent unjustified development in the countryside. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy HOU10. |
| 2. | Policy NNV3 of the adopted Great-Yarmoth Borough-wide Local Plan states that in areas shown on the proposals map as landscape important to the coastal scene, the Council will only permit development that would not significantly detract from the essential open character of the areas. Policy NNV5 of the plan states that in areas around settlements shown on the proposals map as landscape important to the setting of settlements, the Council will permit development provided a developer can demonstrate essential need or that the development would not impinge on the physical separation between settlements particularly between Great Yarmouth and Caister and Gorleston and Hopton which are major gateways to the town, or give rise to any other significant adverse effect. In this instance the erection of a dwelling on the site proposed would be prominent in the landscape and only serve to consolidate the existing sporadic development in this vicinity to the detriment of the rural character of the area. The proposal would thereby have a significant adverse impact on the area contrary to Policies NNV3 and NNV5 of the Local Plan. |
| 3. | Policy TCM13 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that development will not be permitted where it would endanger highway safety or the satisfactory functioning of the local highway network. The proposed development would intensify the use of an access on a stretch of classified highway where the principle use is that of carrying traffic freely and safely between centres of population. The existence of an access in this location is a matter of fact and therefore some degree of conflict and interference to the passage of through vehicles already occurs, but the intensification of that interference which this proposal would engender would lead to the deterioration in the efficiency of the through road as a traffic carrier and be detrimental to highway safety. The proposed development would thereby be contrary to Policy TCM13. |
