Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU07 and HOU15 of the Borough Wide Local Plan requires all new dwellings to relate satisfactorily to its surroundings in terms of its siting, appearance and character of the development and the relationship the new dwelling will have with the neighbouring properties. This proposal is for a pair of semi-detached two bedroomed houses with parking. The site is within a dense urban area with properties situated to the west boundary and a business to the east. Immediately north and south are existing garages. Within a constrained site this development would adversely affect the adjacent residential properties by virtue of overlooking and overshadowing. Furthermore the development would appear out of character with its surroundings and would form an over dominant feature. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to policies HOU07 (criteria A and E) and HOU15 of the adopted Borough-Wide Local Plan.
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.
