Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework requires new dwellings to create a good standard of amenity for both the existing and future occupants of the dwellings. The creation of five flats has led to a contrived layout with limited usable living space. Flats 3 and 5 in particular are undersized, but other flats, though larger in size, do not provide sufficient usable space. Flat 2 has limited external walls and windows that provide direct light from the outside. The result is a development which does not provide an appropriate level of amenity for occupants of the dwellings. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework as the proposal does not offer a high standard of layout and will not create a sufficient quality of environment.
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.
