Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	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 current proposal is considered to be contrary to policy HOU23 (B) and (F) as the over intense use of the site would have a significantly detrimental effect on the character and amenities of the area. Policy HOU23(E) seeks to prevent houses in multiple occupation being located adjacent accommodation in single family occupancy; the application site is adjacent two properties in single family occupancy and as such this change of use in this location is contrary policy HOU23(E) of the adopted Borough Wide Local Plan. The application in its current form 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. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to policy HOU23 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.
