| 1. | It is considered that, due to the separation of the application site from the main built-up part of the village of Burgh Castle and its location in an area where there is a scattering of dwellings and rural building with no defined settlement, the proposal would constitute an isolated dwelling that would intrude into the existing open space between buildings resulting in an adverse effect on the landscape and character of the area.
The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of paragraph 79 of the NPPFand saved Policy HOU10 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan which seek to prevent the erection of isolated dwellings in the countryside unless there is a justified need. |
| 2. | Policy CS1 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan: Core Strategy states that the Council will look favourably towards new development that succesfully contributes to sustainable growth, criterion a) seeks to ensure that new development is of a scale and location that complements the character and supports the function of individual settlements, criterion e) of the Policy states that new development should provide safe accessible places that promote healthy lifestyles and provide easy access for all to jobs, shops and community facilities by walking, cycling and public transport. Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy states that growth within the Borough must be delivered in a sustainable manner by balancing the delivery of new homes with new jobs and service provision creating resilient self-contained communities and reducing the need to travel.
There is no footpath along this section of Mill Road and there would be a highway danger for pedestrians from the site attempting to access the nearest facilities within the village. It is therefore considered that the proposal is contrary to the aims of Policies CS1, criterion (e) and CS2 in that it would be an unsustainable form of development that would not provide easy access to jobs, shops and community facilities. |
| 3. | 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. |
