No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the amenity of neighbours is adequately safeguarded and the character of the area is not adversely affected. The extension or alteration must :-(i) Be in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (ii) Not significantly affect the amenities of a neighbouring dwelling and (iii) Not result in over-development of the site. It is considered that the proposal is contrary to criteria (i) and (iii) of Policy HOU18 in that, (a) the design of the proposed two-storey extension together with the overall scale of the extension would result in a visually dominant structure which would be out of character with the surrounding area and be unsympathetic to the scale and style of the existing dwelling and (b) the overall effect of both the single storey and two-storey extensions would result in an overdevelopment of the site.
2.	STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT:- In determining this planning application the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, in this particular case, the proposal is not considered to represent an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons given above.
