Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed building would be an overdevelopment of the site and would be out of character and scale with the surrounding area. In particular, the height and bulk of this four storey building on a prominent corner site would result in a development that would be over-dominant in the street scene which consists of mostly two-storey terraced houses. It is also considered that the building will have an adverse effect on light and outlook to the nearby dwellings and the windows to upper floor living rooms will result in overlooking and loss of privacy to the the occupiers of those dwellings. The proposed drawing shows six off-road parking spaces for the proposed development which consists of nine, two bedroom residential units, the amount of off-road parking proposed does not meet the parking standard of two spaces per dwelling or the relaxed standard of one space per dwelling that may be acceptable in this location. The lack of sufficient parking on-site would exacerbate the existing parking difficulties in the area and would have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding dwellings. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of Policies CS1 and CS9 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy and saved Policies HOU7 and HOU17 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to prohibit development that would have an adverse effect on the character of the area and the amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings.
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.
