Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	Saved Policy HOU7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan permits new housing subject to the development meeting the criteria of the Policy, criterion (c) states that suitable access arrangements must be made. The Council's standards for car parking would require the provision of a maximum of two off-road car parking spaces per dwelling for a two bedroom house. As it is not possible to provide any parking spaces within the site the proposed development does not comply with the parking standards. The site is within close proximity of local facilities and public transport routes and within such areas the parking requirement may be relaxed however, in this case, there is insufficient off-road space within the vicinity for the existing dwellings and therefore to allow a further dwelling would result in increased pressure on the existing parking spaces to the detriment of the existing residents. The proposal would therefore be contrary to criterion (c) of saved Policy HOU7 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
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.
