1.The flats provide a cramped form of accommodation with inadequate levels of natural light and ventilation. Consequently, the application does not comply with Core Policy CS09 (f) from the GREAT YARMOUTH LOCAL PLAN: CORE STRATEGY 2013 - 2030 which seeks to protect the amenity of existing and future residents. Furthermore, through the lack of escape routes it is not considered that the flats would provide a safe form of accommodation and therefore the application does not comply with Paragraph 127 F from the National Planning Policy Framework.
2.The application site is located within the 400m to 2.5km Orange Indicative Habitat Impact Zone although there has not been a HRA provided as part of this application, nor has the required HMMS payment been made. As such the Local Planning Authority cannot fully assess the additional impact upon the Natura2000 sites within the Borough, nor can it is it able to secure the appropriate mitigtion. Consequently, the application is contrary with Core Policy CS11 from the GREAT YARMOUTH LOCAL PLAN: CORE STRATEGY 2013 - 2030.
3.The plans submitted as part of this application were not accurate and therefore, due to a lack of detail, it is not possible to be sure that the layout is correct and that the use will be in accordance with the plans.
4.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.
