1.The application site is located in close proximity to a sewage pumping station that is a generator of noise and odour that would be detectable from the proposed dwellings and notwithstanding the fact that planning permission has been granted for four dwellings on the site, this proposal to increase the number of dwelling units is considered by the local planning authority to represent over development of the site resulting in the dwellings being closer to the pumping station and in a lack of useable amenity space around the properties and a poor quality of external environment which, is contrary to the aims of Policy HOU15 of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan 2001 to provide for a higher quality housing environment and the National Planning Policy Framework which seeks to promote high quality sustainable development with a good standard of amenity in appropriate locations.
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.
