| 1. | In the opinion of the local planning authority the proposed dwellings constitute an unacceptable form of development by virtue of the orientation and overall bulk and height of the development, which, if allowed, would obscure the view of the adjacent Medieval town wall, which as a Scheduled Ancient Monument is afforded a status of national importance and is therefore offered greater protection under national and local planning policy.
The development if allowed would create a significant and detrimental visual impact on the monument and is consequently considered to be contrary to the provisions of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide local Plan and, in particular, policy BNV1 as it would adversely affect the setting of a monument of national importance and the built development would stand within 10 meters of the town wall, contrary to criteria B of BNV3. |
| 2. | Notwithstanding the above it is the opinion of the local planning authority that, in view of the restricted dimensions of the plot, the erection of 4 dwellings of the design and scale submitted would result in the overdevelopment of the plot and would have a significant lack of amenity space associated with the dwellings, giving rise to significant detriment to the character and visual amenities of the area. |
| 3. | In addition to the above the existing wall at the front of the site is a prominent feature within the Conservation Area and although not listed, it makes a positive contribution to the historic importance of the area as a whole and its loss would have a negative and unacceptable impact on the visual amenities of the area contrary to the provisions of policy BNV9 which seek to protect structures which make a positive contribution to the character of an area. |
| 4. | The proposal does not incorporate adequate on-site vehicular parking and manoeuvring facilities to the standard required by the Local Planning Authority. The proposal, if permitted, would therefore be likely to lead to an undesirable increase in on-street parking to the detriment to highway safety. Contrary to Development Plan policies TCM17. |
| 5. | The proposal does not incorporate adequate on-site cycle parking facilities to the standard required by the Local Planning Authority. |
| 6. | Therefore for the reasons given above the proposed development is considered to be contrary to the provisions of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan and, in particular, policies BNV1, BNV3, BNV9, BNV10, HOU7 & HOU15. |
