Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that all housing development proposals, including replacement dwellings and changes of use, will be assessed according to their effect on residential amenity, the character of the environment, traffic generation and services. They will also be assessed according to the quality of the environment to be created, including appropriate car parking and service provision. Policy HOU17 states that in assessing proposals for development the Council will have regard to the density of the surrounding area. Sub-division of plots will be resisted where it would be likely to lead to development out of character and scale with the surroundings. The Council considers that the proposal is contrary to these policies in that the restricted size of the plot will result in a cramped development with inadequate outdoor amenity space for future occupiers which will be out of character with the immediate locality.
2.	It is also considered that the application for outline planning permission has been submitted with insufficient information to adequately assess the proposal in relation to Policies HOU8 and HOU15 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. In this case, with the limited amount of information in relation to the appearance of the proposed dwelling, it is not possible to assess the potential impacts of the development on the residential amenities of the occupants of the host and neighbouring properties or on the character of the surrounding area.
