1.	Policy HOU8 of the adopted Graet Yarmouth Borough-wide Local Plan permits individual dwellings within the village development limit of Hopton subject to certain criteria including (a) that the proposal would not be significantly detrimental to the form and character and setting of the settlement and (e) that the proposal should not be significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers or users of land. Policy NNV23 of the Local Plan states that the council will grant consent for the cutting down, topping, lopping or uprooting of a tree protected by a tree preservation order or within a conservation area only if the work is necessary to secure: (a) the proper pruning of the tree for good arboricultural reasons; or, (b) removal of the tree so that the survival or growth prospects of other protected trees are enhanced. The application site is restricted by the presence of a number of trees (protected by a Tree Preservation Order) which make a significant contribution to the character and appearance of this part of Hopton. The erection of the dwelling proposed would require the removal of a significant number of trees which would be detrimental to the character and visual amenity of this part of Hopton and therefore the proposal is considered by the local planning authority to be contrary to criterion (a) and (e) of Policy HOU8 and Policy NNV23 of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide LOcal Plan 2001.
