Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The proposal is contrary to Policies HOU11 and BNV21 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan in that it is considered that not all the buildings on the site are worthy of retention in terms of landscape and structural integrity, and that the realignment of the wall to achieve a satisfactory highway access compromises a major element of the existing layout on the road frontage. Furthermore, the applicant has failed to provide a survey of protected species (such as barn owls and bats) and provision for their conservation where they occur.
2.	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. Irrespective of the type of development depicted in the application, it is considered that the proposal to provide two new dwellings by way of the 're-creation' of a former barn is contrary to the above policy. No evidence has been put forward in respect of the need for the dwellings in this location to justify a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside, including Policy NNV2 of the Local Plan which seeks to maintain and enhance the landscape quality of the neighbouring Broads area. The proposal is, in this context, also contrary to Policies H.8 and ENV.4 of the Norfolk Structure Plan (Adopted 1999). Furthermore, the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy BNV16 of the Local Plan in that the conjectural restoration of the former barn is not, in both design and historic terms, considered to be appropriate, nor would it, in view of the visual prominence of the site, result in enhancement of the area. continued on next page :-
