2.Retention of shop front: Notwithstanding Part 3 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order) (with or without modification), the "front shop" as indicated on dwg. ref. "Proposed Floor Plan Changes 155 Bells Rd" shall remain in use as retail outlet only (within Use Class E(a) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes Order) 1987 as amended), and for no other purposes whatsoever. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure that an active retail use remains at ground floor at the front of the premises, and to minimise any harm to the viability and vitality of the Local Centre, in accordance with Policy CS7 of the adopted Core Strategy (2015) Policy R5 of the adopted Local Plan Part 2 (2021), and in line with the aims of policy RTC4 of the Emerging Local Plan.
3.Holiday accommodation only: The rear parts of the ground floor unit behind the front shop, and the use of the first floor, shall be used as a single premises with the use limited to occupation by holiday-making guests and use for provision of holiday accommodation only, and shall not be occupied as a sole or main place of residence at any time whatsoever. An up-to-date register of visitors staying at the holiday accommodation hereby permitted shall be kept by the applicant, at all times, with copies being made available for inspection by the Local Planning Authority upon request. The register shall contain details of the names of all of the occupiers of the accommodation, their main home addresses and their date of arrival and departure from the accommodation. The reason for the condition is :- To ensure the accommodation is not used as permanent residential accommodation, because the development has inadequate levels of amenity for permanent residents, and to justify the loss of the significant part of the site from retailing activity by providing a use that is of benefit to the wider community, in accordance with adopted policy L1 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (2021).
4.Personal permission and to ensure retail unit reverts back should use cease: The permission shall ensure for, and the use hereby permitted shall be carried on only by, "The Willow Tree Group" as applicant, and in the event that the premises should cease to be occupied by "The Willow Tree Group" in the manner as proposed under this application the ground floor and rear unit behind the shop front shall cease use as holiday accommodation and shall revert back to retailing use. The reason for the condition is :- The development is only acceptable in the circumstance that the current occupier operates the holiday home through the Charity, as a use beneficial for the wider community which outweighs the harm from the loss of the retail use and conflict with adopted policies CS7 of the Core Strategy (2015) and R5 of Local Plan Part 2 (2021).
5.Maximum Occupancy: The holiday accommodation hereby permitted shall not be occupied by any more than 6 people at any one time. The reason for the condition is :- To mitigate the impact on neighbours and parking pressures resulting from any intensification of the use, and to ensure that an adequate amount of shared facilities are provided to accord with adopted policies A1 and I1 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (2021), and to ensure that there is no increase in recreational habitat impact above that which has been mitigated by contribution of the GIRAMS contribution, in accordance with adopted policies CS11 and CS14 of the Core Strategy (2015) and policies GSP5 and GSP8 of the adopted Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (2021).
6.STATEMENT OF POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT: In dealing with this application Great Yarmouth Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner. It is confirmed that this shadow HRA submitted by the applicant has been assessed as being suitable for the Borough Council as competent authority to use as the HRA record for the determination of the planning application, in accordance with the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. In this instance the Borough Council has considered there is no likely significant effect on protected habitats arising solely from the development itself; and the development would contribute to the overall in-combination significant adverse effect identified by the Habitats Regulations Assessment Report for the Local Plan Core Strategy, but this effect can be adequately mitigated by the Habitats Monitoring and Mitigation Strategy; and that the GIRAMS payment of 185.93 received on the 14th November 2022 is sufficient mitigation.
