Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The proposal constitutes an overdevelopment of the site in that it would be significantly detrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement. Specifically, in terms of the number and layout of dwellings on this relatively small area of garden land, the proposal represents a cramped and inappropriate form of development out of keeping with the surroundings where a lower density of housing prevails. The layout and cramped nature of the development, where private amenity space would be severely restricted, would not provide a high quality of housing environment. Furthermore, the narrow and long access would result in a loss of privacy and detriment to the adjacent residential properties and undue hardship and inconvenience in the servicing of the dwellings by tradesmen and public employees. For these reasons the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policies HOU7/HOU8, HOU15 and HOU17 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
2.	'Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk' (PPS25) states that an appropriate Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) will be required to demonstrate how flood risk from all sources of flooding to the development itself and flood risk to others will be managed now and taking climate change into account. The FRA submitted with the application (dated 2006) does not comply with the requirements set out in Annex E, paragraph E3 of PPS25. The submitted FRA does not, therefore, provide a suitable basis for assessment to be made of the flood risks arising from the proposed development. Moreover, it is considered that other sites in the Borough allocated for residential purposes, within Flood Zone 1, would be more appropriate for this form of development and, as such, the proposal fails to meet the Sequential Test in PPS25.
