Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The proposal to form a house in Multiple Occupation constitutes an over-intense and un-neighbourly use of the property which would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the occupiers of the adjacent properties and the occupiers of the proposed units of accommodation. Furthermore, if approved the proposal would result in the formation of a number cramped and sub-standard units of accommodation which would not afford the standard of residential amenity normally required and would create a precedent for further similar uses of the terraced houses in the area, the cumulative effect of which would be detrimental to the character of the locality by virtue of the clustering effect that would be created. Policy HOU23 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that the conversion or change of use of properties into flats other types of multi-occupied units of residential accommodation will be permitted subject to a number of criteria but for the above reasons the proposal is considered to be in conflict with criteria (b), (c) & (f) of that policy.
2.	The proposal is also considered to be contrary to Policy HOU15 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan in that the units of accommodation created do not provide an adequate quality of environment as there are insufficient facilities, within the property to cater for the needs of occupants living in a House in Multiple Occupation. In particular the layout of the basement unit of accommodation generates concern, as a significant proportion of this unit would have to rely on artificial ventilation and light as the only natural light available is from windows , set at a lower level than the road, to the main front room bed/sitting room, would have an unacceptable impact on the living conditions of any residents of this unit.
