| 1. | The application is considered contrary to policy HOU23 of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan in that the properties in this area of Wellesley Road are in use as Guest House serving Great Yarmouth's vibrant holiday industry and the proposed use as an HMO would be likely to adversely impact on the adjoining uses. In addition given the number of rooms proposed to be used of accommodation units is considered constitute, an over intense use of the building which could have an adverse effect on the potential occupiers and the amenities of the neighbouring properties. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Policy HOU23 (f). |
| 2. | A bedroom at first floor level within the development is devoid of windows and the access to the first floor is by staircase through a toilet and bedroom; this is considered to be a sub-standard form of accommodation and likely to be detrimental to the amenities of the future occupants contrary to the aims of Policy HOU15 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. In addition to the physical irregularities in the structure which indicate that this property is not suitable for this form of development five of the bedrooms, proposed to be only and main residences, do not have bathing facilities. To provide accommodation with no provision to wash is not acceptable and would provide a grossly substandard form of accommodation. |
| 3. | The proposal does not provide sufficient information with regard to the provision of refuse disposal arrangements or where such facilities can be provided for a development of this scale and given the extremely limited external yard area and limited access it does not appear that an adequate provision can be made without impinging on the rear access road which is outside the control of the applicant. Whilst it is clear some provision might be made in the front yard, any such provision is considered unacceptable as an installation would be detrimental to the appearance of the area and have an adverse impact on the amenities of adjoining occupiers. |
| 4. | The drawings submitted are to no discernable scale and therefore the size of the property and the sizes of the rooms to be provided are not given. Without scale plans or any supporting evidence the applicant has not overcome the policy objections to the application. The insufficient information does not provide evidence that the property is capable of providing quality accommodation for individuals to reside in as their homes. |
| 5. | 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 or an acceptable form of development and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
