1.	The proposed erection of three houses on the rear garden of this property would result in an overdevelopment of a restricted site creating a cramped form of development that would be out of character with the surrounding area. The proposed dwellings will have very little private amenity space and this, together with the location in the rear garden, would result in a poor quality of environment for the future occupiers of the proposed dwellings as well as having an adverse effect on the amount of amenity space remaining with the donor dwelling. The erection of a terrace of three storey houses will result in overlooking and loss of privacy for nearby dwellings and an adverse effect on the outlook from the existing dwellings to the east and also from the rear of the donor dwelling. The proposed development would therefore have a significant adverse effect on the residential amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings. The formation of a vehicular access from Anchor Court would involve the loss of existing parking spaces for that development which would lead to greater demand for on-street parking in an area where parking space is very restricted. The proposal would also result in increased traffic movements through the existing cul-de sac which would cause noise and disturbance which would be likely to have an adverse effect on the occupiers of the existing dwellings. The proposal would therefore be contrary to saved Policy HOU17 and Criteria (A), (C) and (E) of saved Policy HOU7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to safeguard the character and form of settlements and protect the amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings and Policies CS1 and CS2 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy.
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.
