1.The building subject to this application is situated adjacent to a surviving upstanding section of the historic town wall, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a designated Heritage Asset, protected under the 1979 Ancient Monuments and Areas Act and this proposal will have a direct impact upon the asset. Therefore, in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, insufficient information has been received to allow it to adequately assess the merits of the scheme. In particular, the submitted Heritage Statement does not sufficiently address the impact of the development on the Town Wall, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and the means of fixing internal partitions, walls and ceilings and detailed information about the changes to the building where it meets the monument and is contrary to local plan policy BNV1 and National Planning Policy Statement 5.
2.Notwithstanding the above it is considered that the proposed formation of a units of accommodation with limited openings to provide natural light and ventilation, in particular with relation to the bedrooms and kitchens would constitute a sub-standard form of accommodation and would be likely to be detrimental to the amenities of the future occupants contrary to the aims of Policies HOU15 & HOu23 of the Adopted version of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
3.Therefore, for the reasons above the proposed conversion of the workshop and store into residential accommodation is considered to be contrary to the provisions of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan and, in particular, policies BNV1, BNV3, HOU7,HOU15 & HOU23 and Planning Policy Statement 5.
