| 1. | The application site is outside any area defined in the Local Plan: Core Strategy where residential development might be permitted. Outside these defined areas, saved Policy HOU10 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan only permits the erection of new dwellings if they are required in connection with either agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or the expansion of an existing institution. In such cases it must be demonstrated that the new dwelling is essential in the interests of agriculture or good management and the proposal must have the unequivocal support of a suitably qualified independent appraisor.
No evidence has been put forward in support of the application that will satisfy the requirements of the policy, the objective of which is to prevent unjustified development in the countryside. The proposed erection of a dwelling on this site is therefore contrary to saved Policy HOU10 of the Borough-Wide Local Plan. |
| 2. | Policy CS1 of the Local Plan: Core Strategy states that the Council will look favourably towards new development that succesfully contributes to sustainable growth, criterion a) seeks to ensure that new development is of a scale and location that complements the character and supports the function of individual settlements, criterion e) of the Policy states that new development should provide safe accessible places that promote healthy lifestyles and provide easy access for all to jobs, shops and community facilities by walking, cycling and public transport.
The site is outside the built up part of the village and is served by a road that does not have footpaths, it is therefore considered that the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policy CS1 in that it would be an unsustainable form of development that would not provide easy access to jobs, shops and community facilities by anything other than the use of a private car. |
| 3. | As far as can be determined from the submitted plans, the applicant does not appear to control sufficient land to provide adequate visibility at the site access. The proposed development would therefore be detrimental to highway safety and contrary to criterion (c) of Policy CS16 of the Local Plan: Core Strategy. |
| 4. | 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.
