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 Flood Risk Assessment. This means that details of flood depth, extreme flood events and climate change as well as flood mitigation measures have not been provided. The application has not demonstrated that the site will be safe for its lifetime. The development is considered contrary to policy CS13 of the adopted Core Strategy as the exception test is not met and an adequate flood response plan has not been received. Furthermore satisfactory noise contamination measures have 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 adopted 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.
