Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The creation of an additional vehicular access to the site will be an unnecessary incursion of residential curtilage into agricultural land and extend the existing built environment of the village of Belton into the countryside well outside the Village Development Limit. The construction of the drive amounts to an engineering operation and is out of keeping with the rural nature of the area. Although landscaping is proposed, it will contribute to the number of residential accesses onto New Road within a short distance, increasing the urbanisation of a rural area. The applicant has not demonstrated essential need for an additional access. The proposed drive will not serve as a separate access to the dwelling to the rear of the site, but merely double the amount of driveway access to the dwelling "Norfolk Barn". As such the additional drive is considered to be an unnecessary addition to the site.
2.	For the above reasons, the Borough Council considers that the proposal is contrary to national and local policies designed to protect the countryside. In particular, the proposal does not meet the objectives of Policies NNV5 and NNV7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which are, respectively,"To protect the setting of settlements and prevent urban sprawl" and "Protection of the countryside for its own sake".
