1.	The building, subject of the application for residential conversion, is outside any settlement boundary and appears in poor condition. Policy HOU11 and BNV21 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan 2001 set out criteria against which such proposals are to be considered. These include the need for the applicant to demonstrate that every reasonable attempt has been made to secure suitable commercial re-use of the building and evidence to show that the building is suitable for conversion without significant re-building taking place. In the first instance no evidence has been submitted and secondly the Local Planning Authority is not persuaded on the basis of the submitted survey statement that the building could be converted without extensive rebuilding particularly with regard to the rear wing of the building which is clad in areas of sheeting. In addition, the building is considered by the Local Planning Authority to be of little architectural or historic merit and conversion is therefore contrary to the aims of Planning Policy Statement 7 which supports the conversion of such buildings in sustainable locations. Furthermore, the application has not demonstrated that the use of a septic tank is the only achievable form of providing foul drainage and that no environmental harm would occur as a result of its installation which is contrary to Policy INF8 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan 2001.
