1.The design of the proposed house and its location on the plot will result in the proposed dwelling extending beyond the rear elevation of the neighbouring dwelling to the north which would be an unneighbourly form of development that would cause overshadowing and loss of light and outlook to that dwelling. The proximity of the first floor window to the rear of the proposed dwelling to the rear boundary of the site would also result in overlooking of the existing house at the rear and would have significant adverse effects on the amenities of that property. In addition to this the application does not show any parking or turning area for the proposed dwelling and is lacking in detail regarding the replacement parking for the existing houses and details of the boundary treatment following demolition of the existing garage. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policy HOU15 and criteria (A), (C) and (E) of Policy HOU7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to safeguard the character and form of settlements and protect the amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings.
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.
