| 1. | The proposal would amount to a cramped form of overdevelopment which would cause significant harm to the residential amenities of the occupiers of adjacent property. In particular, the proposed chalet bungalow would, by virtue of its height, length and close proximity to the neighbouring dwellings, have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from those dwellings, the occupiers of which would also suffer an appreciable loss of privacy, daylight and/or sunlight.
Furthermore, the proposed chalet bungalow would, in terms of its height and mass, be out of keeping with the general scale of development in this area which is characterised by dwellings of more modest proportions and would, therefore, result in visual overdominance.
The proposal to provide an extended curtilage for the chalet bungalow would also result in the loss of part of a "green" area of open space which contributes positively to the character of the area.
For the above reasons the proposal is considered by the Borough Council to be contrary to Policies HOU15 and REC11 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
