| 1. | The proposal which, in effect, provides for an additional dwelling at the rear 14 Station Road is contrary to criterion (A) Policy HOU7 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan in that it would be significantly detrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement, particularly as this area of Ormesby St Margaret is mostly made up of frontage development comprising sizeable dwellings on relatively large plots. The proposal is also considered to be contrary to criteria (C) and (E) of the aforementioned policy. In respect of the former, the likely increase in traffic movements utilising the existing access where visibility in both directions along Station Road is severely restricted would be detrimental to highway safety (Policy TCM13 of the Local Plan also refers). As regards the latter, the siting of the 'annexe' in such close proximity to the western boundary of the site would have a detrimental effect on the amenities of adjoining residents by reason of the increased activity/disturbance generated by the development. |
