| 1. | The proposal to form a house in multiple occupation of this size constitutes an over-intense and un-neighbourly use of the property which would be detrimental to the residential amenities of the occupiers of the adjacent properties and the occupiers of the proposed units of accommodation. The proposed plans as submitted seek to provide substandard accommodation which does not meet minimum size requirements for permanent living accommodation. The information submitted on the proposed plans is not sufficient to indicate how the units of accommodation would work and what facilities would be available for future occupants. The over intense use of the site and poor standards of living accommodation is contrary to HOU15 and HOU16 of the adopted Borouh Wide Local Plan. |
| 2. | Policy HOU23 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that the conversion or change of use of properties into flats or other types of multi-occupied units of residential accommodation will be permitted subject to a number of criteria. The proposal is considered to be contrary to B & E of that policy given the over intense use of the site and the residential properties directly adjacent. Policy HOU17 of the Borough Wide Local Plan seeks to prevent overdevelopment of sites; the occupation of this site by 18 individuals is an over intense use and as such contrary to policy HOU17. |
| 3. | Notwithstanding the above it is considered that the development fails on criterion E of policy HOU7 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan in that it would have a significant and detrimental impact to the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers and the area as a whole due to the over-intensive occupation of the property. |
| 4. | In addition to the above the proposed change of use is considered contrary to the emerging policy CS8 of the Core Strategy in that no evidence has been submitted to support the contention that the current use is not viable, and is also contrary to the core planning principles contained in the National Planning Policy Framework, and in particular paragraph 17 and 9 in that it fails to ensure a good standard of amenity for all existing and future occupants of the land and buildings. |
