Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Paragraph 102 of the National Planning Policy Framework outlines an exception test which states site specific flood risk assessment must demonstrate that the development will be safe for its lifetime taking account of the vulnerability of its users, without increasing flood risk elsewhere, and, where possible, will reduce flood risk overall. The application site is within a flood zone 3 area and has not provided a sufficient Flood Risk Assessment. The Flood Risk Assessment fails to address a number of issues including, the safety of the occupants, extreme flood events and climate change. The application has not demonstrated that the site will be safe for its lifetime and the provided mitigation measures are not considered sufficient. The development is considered contrary to policy CS13 of the Emerging Core Strategy as the exception test is not met and an adequate flood response plan has not been received. Furthermore satisfactory noise contamination measures has not been provided meaning the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the development provides a suitable residential environment. Consequently, the Borough Council, as Local Planning Authority, considers that the proposal is contrary to paragraph 102 of the National Planning Policy Framework and policy CS13 of the Emerging Core Strategy. In addition the proposal is considered contrary to policy HOU15 of the Borough Wide Local Plan in that the development does not provide a good quality environment for the occupants.
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.
