| 1. | Policy BNV10 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that new development in or adjacent to a Conservation Area will be required to be sympathetic to the character or appearance of the area in terms of scale, height, form, massing materials, siting and design.
The proposed garage, located in a prominent position close to The Green within the Conservation Area, is considered to present an overbearing mass of roof, and is out of proportion with its surroundings, of an inappropriate design and detrimental to the setting of the existing dwelling. |
| 2. | 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 development is considered to be contrary to criteria a) and c) of this policy in terms of the design of the garage and the height and mass of the roof, in conjunction with its close proximity to the front boundary of the site. |
| 3. | The Council therefore considers that the proposal is contrary to Policies BNV10 and HOU18 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 4. | STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT : In accordance with the NPPF, in determining this application for planning permission the Borough Council has approached it in a positive and proactive way and where possible has sought solutions to problems to achieve the aim of approving sustainable development. Unfortunately, despite this, in this particular case the development is not considered to represent sustainable development and has been refused for the reasons set out above. |
