1.The erection of a bungalow on this site will result in the loss of an area of green open space which will have a detrimental effect on the character of the area and the outlook from the existing dwellings to the north of the site. In addition to this the proposed vehicular access to the new dwelling will result in a loss of parking spaces for existing residents leading to an increased demand for on-street parking elsewhere within the area which will have an adverse effect on the occupiers of the existing dwellings. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of Policy CS9 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy and saved Policies REC11 and HOU7 (criteria A and E) of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to safeguard the character and form of settlements, protect the amenities of the occupiers of adjoining dwellings and safeguard amenity and open space.
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.
