| 1. | Policy HOU10 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that permission for new dwellings in the countryside will only be given if required in connection with agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of existing institutions. The proposal, although described as granny annexe, represents a fully self-contained two-bedroomed bungalow capable of independent occupation despite the communal entrance with the existing dwelling on the site. Consequently, it is considered that the development would be contrary to the above Policy. No justification has been put forward in respect of the need for the level of accommodation indicated and, as such, there is no evidence to warrant a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside. |
