| 1. | Policy HOU18 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the proposal:
(a) is in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area;
(b) would not significantly affect the amenities of any neighbouring dwelling; and
(c) would not result in over-development of the site.
The proposed extension would, by virtue of its height, depth and bulk and relationship to the neighbouring dwelling to the north, constitute an unneighbourly form of development which would have an overbearing and oppressive effect on the outlook from this property, as well as resulting in a loss of daylight and sunlight for the occupiers thereof.
The proposal is, therefore, considered to be contrary to criterion (b) of the above mentioned policy. |
