1.Policy HOU18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal: (i) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (ii) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and, (iii) would not result in over-development of the site. The proposal is contrary to criteria (ii) of this policy in that the front extension, as now proposed, would by virtue of its forward projection and siting, right on the boundaries with the attached semi-detached houses, constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would cause overshadowing and have an overbearing and oppressive effect on these properties. Furthermore the forward projection of the extension as proposed is considered by the Local Planning Authority to be excessive bring the extension close to the back edge of the highway footway and will result in a form of development out of character with the area contrary to criteria (i) of the above mention policy.
