| 2. | The site is situated in the Winterton Conservation Area and the erection of a pair of dwellings of the size and bulk indicated in the application fails to take sufficient account of the traditional character of the buildings and spaces forming this area. Furthermore, the siting of the proposed dwellings within the sub-divided rear garden of 2 Hillside Cottages would, because of windows above ground floor level, provide a degree of overlooking which would be unneighbourly and detrimental to the amenities of adjacent residential properties. The positioning of the dwellings could also result in potential damage to a willow tree on the site which currently derives protection from being within the Conservation Area. Consequently, the Borough Council considers that the proposal is contrary to Policies HOU7/HOU8 (criteria (A) and (E)), HOU15, HOU17, BNV10 and NNV23 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
