1.Policy BNV18 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that the Council will require alterations and extensions to buildings to be sympathetic to the character of the building to be extended and to its setting. In the opinion of the Council the proposal is considered contrary to this policy in that the addition of a first floor extension and two storey addition with a ridge height in excess of the existing building would be an obtrusive and incongruous feature which would be visually jarring, overdominant and unsympathetic to the character of the existing building. Moreover given the proximity of the building to the boundary and relationship to the property'Edelweiss'will give rise to significant issues with regard to overlooking and loss of residential amenity.
2.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): 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 or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
