| 1. | Policy NNV2 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan (2001) states that: "In areas identified in the Proposals Map as 'Landscape Important to the Broadland Scene' the Council will only permit development that would not have a significant adverse impact on the landscape character and traditional built form of the area, or destroy or damage features of landscape importance which contribute to the character of the area". The application site is currently part of large area agricultural land to the north and east of the main built-up part of the village. This area, which is relatively flat and devoid of buildings or other obstructions, is characterised by its wide panoramic views over open countryside. The proposal to erect a stable block with paddock, together with the likely paraphernalia associated with such use, would impinge on the visual quality of the area contrary to the above policy. |
| 2. | The proposal is also considered to be contrary to Policy NNV16 of the aforementioned Local Plan as the application site straddles high grade agricultural land, classified both as Grade 1 and 2 by the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. In this respect, the policy states that: "development will not be permitted unless it can be demonstrated that no other similar site for the purpose and, that, in so far as is possible land of the lowest classification has been used". No such justification has been made. |
