Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Policy HOU18 of the Borough Wide Local Plan requires all developments to relate satisfactorily to its surroundings in terms of its character and the relationship the proposal will have with the neighbouring properties. This proposal is for the conversion of an outhouse and garage to a self-contained annexe with physical alterations. The resultant annexe would create an overly intense development within a constrained environment which would result in a detrimental loss of amenities of the neighbouring properties. The self-contained unit is tantamount to a new dwelling and could be treated as a separate unit of accommodation. Policy HOU15 states that development will assess on the quality of the environment created. The overly intense development will result in a loss of quality in the environment. The intensification is exacerbated by the narrow access which currently supports 8 holiday units to the south of the site and is considered by the Local Planning Authority to serve an independent dwelling and further intensification. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to policy HOU18 and policy HOU15 of the adopted Borough-Wide Local Plan.
2.	STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: 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.
