| 1. | The proposal, which involves the erection of a substantial holiday 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, appear unsympathetic in the surroundings which is characterised by single-storey holiday and permanent dwellings of fairly modest proportions. Furthermore, the proposal would be out of keeping and detrimental to the local environment in terms of the relationship that would result between the new building and adjacent property. Occupiers of the properties adjoining the southern boundary of the site would suffer significant loss of privacy and those to the east and west of the site would be affected by overshadowing and loss of outlook. Acceptance of the proposal would also be likely to set a precedent for similar unsatisfactory proposals which it would difficult for the Local Planning Authority to resist.
For the above reasons the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policies HOU15 and BNV20 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
