No.Condition Text
1.The proposed dwelling by virtue of the sub-standard parking provision, over intense future use of the vehicular access which is shared with pedestrians, and the proximity to neighbouring residential dwellings is considered to be an over-development of the plot. The development does not provide an adequate or safe vehicular access and would cause additional overlooking and loss of privacy of neighbours. This development will have a first floor window facing westward over 83 Potters Drive, and to an extent 29 Station Road gardens which would cause amenity harm to these neighbouring residents. The provision of 1 parking space per host dwelling does not meet NCC highways guidance, and the access would become more intensely used by cars which would be in conflict with the existing pedestrian route. This unacceptable impact on both highway safety and the amenity of neighbours is considered to be contrary to saved policy HOU7 (parts C and E) of Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan (2001).
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 suggested potential amendments to the scheme which may have reduced the impact of the development and 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.
