| 1. | The application site is located outside the village development limits and is therefore contrary to saved policy HOU10 from the Borough-Wide Local Plan; with the lack of safe pedestrian access to local amenities it is considered that there would be a reliance on the private car for future occupants of the proposed development. As such it would be contrary to core policy CS1 (e) from the adopted Core Strategy, which seeks to ensure that new developments provide easy access for everyone to jobs, shops and community facilities by walking, cycling and public transport. Furthermore, it is considered that the application would not comply with core policy CS02 from the adopted Core Strategy which seeks to balance the delivery of new homes with the creation of self-contained communities and reducing the need to travel. |
| 2. | The proposal does not represent an acceptable infill within the existing pattern of development, and would constitute an unacceptable form of tandem-backland development that would appear out-of-character with the linear form of the settlement, conflicting with Core Policy CS01 A which in part seeks to ensure that new development is of a scale and in a location that complements the character and supports the function of individual settlements. |
| 3. | The dwelling constitutes an alien encroachment in to the attractive countryside to the north of the settlement, and adjoining the Broads Authority Executive Area, which is to be afforded the highest level of protection. The proposed dwelling would appear out-of-place within the open rural landscape. The impact on the landscape is exacerbated by the scale and design of the dwelling, which is inappropriate for the location and would be harmful to the rural character, and as a result, it fails to take the opportunity to improve the character and quality of the area as required by paragraph 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework and conflicts with the provisions of Core Strategy Policy CS9. |
| 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. |
