1.Policy HOU18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the amenity of neighbours is adequately safeguarded and the character of the area is not adversely affected. The extesion or alteration must:- (a) be in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (b) not prejudice the amenities of the adjoining dwelling and (c) not result in an over-development of the site's curtilage. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of Policy HOU18 in that the height and bulk of the two storey extension and its close proximity to the boundary would have an overbearing effect on the property to the west. Furthermore it is the opinion of the Local Planning Authority that the extension is incompatible with the scale and features of the existing building, resulting in detriment to the character of that building, contrary to criteria (a) and (b) of the Policy.
