| 1. | The proposed change of use, together with the erection of a substantial building comprising stables, tack-room, hay store and double garage, would constitute an unacceptable incursion of domestic usage into agricultural land to the south of the existing settlement. This area is designated as being 'Landscape Important to the Broadland Scene' and as 'Landscaping Important to the Setting of Settlements' in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
Moreover, the Borough Council is of the opinion that the change of use, if permitted, could set a precedent for similar proposals in this locality leading to a gradual erosion of the farmland surrounding the carr woodland and grazing meadows within the Broads Authority Executive Area.
The proposal is, therefore, considered to be contrary to Policies NNV2 and NNV5 of the aforementioned Local Plan. |
