| 1. | The subdivision of the site would result in inadequate levels of outdoor amenity space both both future occupants and the occupants of 138/140 Beccles Road. This is out of character for the area which, in general, provides a reasonable level of garden provision. Therefore, the application is contrary to saved policy HOU17 from the Borough-Wide Local Plan which seeks to ensure that the sub-divisions of plots are in keeping with the character of the surrounding area and core policy CS09 (f) from the adopted Core Strategy which seeks to protect the amenity of future and existing residents. |
| 2. | The proposal would lead to unacceptable levels of overlooking on to the gardens to the rear of the plot by virtue of the limited separation distance between the boundary and the rear wall of the property. The resulting loss of privacy would lead to a detrimental impact on neighbouring amenity and is therefore contrary to saved policy HOU07 (e) from the Borough Wide Local Plan and core policy CS09 (f) from the adopted Core Strategy which seeks to protect the amenity of future and existing residents. |
| 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. |
