| 1. | The proposal which involves the sub-division of the existing plot, constitutes an overdevelopment of the site that would be out of character and scale with the surroundings. In particular the pair of bungalows on plots 5 & 6 in relation to the existing bungalow would, view of of the close proximity, adversely affect the residential amenities of the occupiers by reason of overshadowing and overlooking. Furthermore, the siting of the units on plots 5/6 with limited curtilages represents an unacceptable form of development. In terms, therefore of, the likely effect of the development on the character of this locality and the amenities currently enjoyed by nearby residents, the proposal to redevelop the site is considered to be contrary to the provisions of Policies HOU7/8, HOU15 and HOU17 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
In the event that the permitted use in respect of 219 Northgate Street remains the proposed new development would result in the loss of amenity area and parking/ambulance space associated with use contrary to the aims of policy Hou21 (C), (E) & (F) of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan. |
| 2. | The siting of dwellings on plots 1 to 4 will, due to the proximity to the new development, result in the loss of a significant tree (Tree of Heaven) in the centre of the site together with the remaining trees on the site which make a significant contribution to the appearance of the area,the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy NNV10 of the Great Yarmoth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 3. | The application site is within an area which has been identified by the Environment Agency as being at risk from flooding. Planning Policy Guidance Note 25 states that those proposing development within such areas are responsible for providing an assessment of whether the proposed development is likely to be affected by flooding, whether it will increase flood risk elsewhere and of measures proposed to deal with these effects and risks. The Flood Risk Assessment does not address the following issuses and is therefore contrary to the above mentioned guidance:-
i) Part of the site lies within Flood Zone 2. The entirety of the site is therefore considered, and should be treated as lying within this flood zone. Therefore the proposed changing of use of the nursing home into three dwellings needs to be addressed within the Flood Risk Assessment.
ii) The proposal will increase the amount of impermeable surface on the site and hence could affect surface water flooding of the proposed development and neighbouring developments. The use of Suds, such as permeable paving, should be considered in detail at this stage of the planning process, rather than being casually metioned in the Flood Risk Assessment and drawing no concluding remarks. Details and calculations of the scheme implenting the use of pervious paving stated in paragraph 2.3 of the submitted Flood Risk assessment need to be submitted in support of the proposed development. |
