| 1. | In the opinion of the local planning authority, the proposal does not accord with the provisions of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan as, by virtue of its overall appearance and realtionship to other buildings and boundries, and in particular those of No 2 Misburgh Way, it would not enhance the form and character of the settlment.THe erection of a dwelling in the location proposed would result in the overdevelopment of the site to the detriment of the character and visual amenities of the area.
In view of the restricted dimensions of the plot, which is created by existing boundaries and protected trees, the erection of a dwelling is not feasible without removing one or a number of the protected trees.
Given the above it is therfore considered that the proposed scheme is contrary to the provisions of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan, namely policies HOU7 and HOU8. The removal of the protected trees would also contravene national guidance namely sections 197-214 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which deals with Tree Preservation Orders. |
