Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The application site is outside any area defined in the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough - Wide Local Plan where residential development might be permitted. Outside these defined areas Policy HOU10 of the plan only permits the erection of a new dwelling if it is required in connection with either agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of an existing institution. In such cases it must be demonstrated that the new dwelling is essential in the interests of agriculture or good management and the proposal must have the unequivocal support of a suitably qualified independent appraisor. The evidence that has been put forward in support of the application does not satisfy the requirements of the policy the objective of which is to prevent unjustified development in the countryside. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Policy HOU10 and the National Planning Policy Framework Whilst the application site could be considered previously developed land in that it contains a now disused kennel building, it is outside any development limit and is not realistically accessible other than by private car. It is remote from community facilities and is not well connected to public transport. The site is therefore environmentally unsustainable and is not a suitable location for new residential development. A departure from Local Plan Policy HOU10 and the National Planning Policy Framework is therefore not justified in this instance.
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.
