1.	Policy CS9 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy and saved Policy BNV18 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan seek to ensure that development is in keeping with the character of the area (in this case the site is within conservation area no. 6) and will have a harmonious relationship with existing buildings. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of these Policies in that, a two storey extension of the height and width proposed and the proximity of the extension to the boundary with the dwellings at the rear, would be an unneighbourly form of development that would cause overshadowing and would have an overbearing and dominating effect on the outlook from those dwellings. Taking this into account it is considered that the extension would have a significant adverse effect on the residential amenities of the occupiers of those dwellings. It is also considered that a two storey, flat roofed extension of the size proposed would be out of character and inappropriate within the conservation area.
2.	STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT (REFUSALS): 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.
