| 1. | The proposal is contrary to Policy HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan in that the alterations and extension to the existing building would have a significant adverse effect on the residential amenities of adjacent property by reason of overshadowing and loss of privacy. In particular, the living conditions of the occupants of the dwelling immediately to the north of the existing building would be seriously diminished by loss of light owing to the proposed first floor extension and the introduction of additional ground floor windows in the north elevation, this despite the fact that they are shown as being obscure glazed. Moreover, the Borough Council considers that the proposal does not provide a sufficiently high quality of housing environment in accordance with the objective of the above policy. The development would, in this context, be unduly cramped, lacking in any private amenity space and deficient in off-street parking and servicing provision - Policy TCM17 of the Local Plan refers. |
