1.Whilst it is considered by the Local Planning Authority that the external appearance and design of the proposed extension reflects the overall character, scale and appearance of the existing dwelling, given the constraints of the site and the proximity of the dwelling to the northern boundary, that a 3 metre extension taking the form of the existing roof at the rear of the dwelling would have a significant and detrimental impact on the amenities of adjacent occupants by virtue of overshadowing and direct loss of light.
2.The proposed extension has been considered against policy HOU18 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan which states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal is (i) in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area, (ii) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling and (iii) would not result in over development of the site. Therefore, given the above it is considered that the proposed extension fails on criterion (ii) of Policy HOU18.
