| 1. | The application site is outside any area defined in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan where residential development might be permitted. Outside these defined areas Policy HOU10 of the Borough-Wide Plan only permits the erection of a new dwellings if they are required in connection with either agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of an existing institution. In such cases it must be demonstrated that the new dwellings are essential in the interests of agriculture or good management and the proposal must have the support of a suitably qualified independent appraisor. In this case, no justification has been put forward in respect of the need for the dwelling sufficient to justitfy a departure from national and local policies designed to protect the countryside. |
| 2. | Policy NNV7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that outside areas defined in the proposals map as being of landscape interest there is a continuing need to protect the countryside as a natural and non renewable resource. The proposal is contrary to this policy in that the Borough Council considers that the erection of a dwelling in the location proposed would consolidate a small isolated area of development in open countryside out of keeping with the rural character of the area. |
| 3. | Therefore given the above, the proposed development is considered to be contrary to both Local Plan and National Planning Policy, in particular HOU10 and HOU17 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan and Planning Policy statement 3 'Housing' and Planning Policy Statement 7 'Sustainable Development in Rural Areas'. |
