| 1. | Policy HOU7 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan says that new residential development may be permitted within the settlement boundaries of Gorleston and other areas subject to various criteria. Criterion (A) of the Policy states that the development should not be significantly detrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement and criterion (E) states that development should not be significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of the occupiers or users of land. Policy HOU15 of the Local Plan states that all housing development proposals including replacement dwellings and changes of use will be assessed according to their effect on residential amenity, the character of the environment, traffic generation and services. They will also be assessed according to the quality of the environment to be created, including appropriate car parking and servicing provision. |
| 2. | The restricted nature of the site will result in the proposed dwelling being close to the site boundaries of the dwellings to the east, the height and proximity of the dwelling to those boundaries will cause overshadowing and loss of light and have a significant adverse effect on the outlook from those dwellings.
The dwelling will front onto a road which serves as an access road to garages and parking at the rear of the dwellings to the north and south of the road, the dwelling will face garages and outbuildings at the rear of nearby properties and will be next to another garage block to the west. It is therefore considered that the location of the proposed bungalow would lead to a poor quality of environment for the future occupiers of the dwelling.
The existing dwellings on the north side of Park Road to the west of the site are all on substantial plots, the proposed site will have a much smaller curtilage and less amenity space than the nearby dwellings. The proposal would therefore result in a development that would be out of character and scale with the surroundings.
For the reasons given above the proposal is considered to be contrary to Policy HOU15 and criteria (A) and (E) of Policy HOU7 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 3. | 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.
