| 1. | The proposal, which involves the erection of a dwelling of one and a half storeys, would, if permitted, result in an unduly prominent and obtrusive feature in the street scene. It would, as a consequence of its height and bulk, appear unsympathetic in the surroundings which, on the east side of Bush Road north of the junction with Edward Road, is mainly characterised by single storey dwellings of relatively modest height. Furthermore, the proposal would cause serious harm to residential amenity in terms of the relationship that would result between the new dwelling and adjacent property. Occupiers of the neighbouring properties would suffer significant loss of privacy and, particularly in respect of the property to the north of the site, the occupiers thereof would be affected by overshadowing and loss of outlook.
For the above reasons the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
