Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy BNV18 of the Borough Wide Local Plan requires all alterations to be sympathetic to the existing building and wider area. The development is for a significant alteration to the existing property by removing a corner. The changes are not considered sympathetic to the property and will result in an alteration which is detrimental to the overall character of the building. The resultant building will be to a form that is uncommon and not in character with the surrounding area. Furthermore paragraph 58 of the National Planning Policy states that a development must respond to local character and reflect the identity of local surroundings. This proposed alteration will change a building which currently reflects local identity to a form which does not. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to policy BNV18 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.
