16.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 screening for a need for an Appropriate Assessment and 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 Strategy requires a payment of £210.84 per each 6 beds tourist accommodation towards the monitoring and mitigation provided through that Strategy. The required total payment of £1,757 was received by the Borough Council on 30th October 2023.
17.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- Contamination Disclaimer: The responsibility for the safe development and secure occupancy of the site rests with the developer. The local planning authority has determined the application on the basis of the information available to it, but this does not mean that the land is free from contamination, or that the land could not be declared Contaminated Land in future. Trade Waste The applicant is advised that businesses require a Trade Waste contract to dispose of all waste associated with commercial activities as stated in the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Section 34. Construction noise notification: The applicant is strongly recommended to advise neighbouring businesses and residential occupiers of the proposals, including any periods of potentially significant disturbance e.g. demolition or piling, together with contact details in the event of problems. Hours of Work: Due to the close proximity of other residential dwellings and businesses, the hours of any construction or refurbishment works should be restricted to reduce the likelihood of noise disturbance to: 0730 hours to 1830 hours Monday to Friday; 0830 hours to 1330 hours Saturdays; and, No work on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
18.NOTES - Please read the following notes carefully:- The applicant should check for any Anglian Water assets which cross or are within close proximity to the site. Any encroachment zones should be reflected in site layout. They can do this by accessing our infrastructure maps on Digdat. Please see our website for further information: https://www.anglianwater.co.uk/developers/development-services/locating-our-assets/ Please note that if diverting or crossing over any of our assets permission will be required. Please see our website for further information: https://www.anglianwater.co.uk/developers/drainage-services/building-over-or-near-our-assets/ If the applicant proposes to discharge surface water to a watercourse within the Board's IDD, consent would be required under Byelaw 3. Please note that any discharge is in line with the Non-Statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) , therefore the Board is unlikely to grant consent for discharges in excess of greenfield rate. Byelaw 3 (Treated Foul Water) The applicant intends to dispose of foul water to a main sewer. Should the applicant's proposals change to include the discharge of treated foul water to a watercourse within the Board's IDD, consent would be required under Byelaw 3. Section 23, Land Drainage Act 1991 I am not aware of any riparian owned/maintained watercourses within or adjacent to the site boundary, however this should be confirmed by the applicant. Should the applicant's proposals include works to alter a watercourse, or if works are proposed to alter a watercourse at any time in the future, consent would be required under the Land Drainage Act 1991 (and byelaw 4 where within the Board's IDD). Byelaw 10 There are no Board maintained watercourses within or adjacent to the site boundary therefore Byelaw 10 does not apply. Byelaw 17 There are no Board maintained watercourses within or adjacent to the site boundary therefore Byelaw 17 does not apply.
19.Occasionally European protected species, such as great crested newts or bats, can be found during the course of development even when the site appears unlikely to support them or after an ecological survey has found no previous evidence of them. In the event that this occurs, it is advised that the developer stops work immediately and seeks the advice of a suitability qualified ecological consultant.
20.Flood Alerts, Flood Warnings and Severe Flood Warnings are issued to residents and businesses within flood risk areas by the Agency's Floodline Warnings Direct (FWD) service. This system is managed by the Environment Agency and dials out a message to the recipient when a particular category of flood warning is being advised. The message is conveyed by a constant ringing of the telephone or can alternatively be communicated to mobile phones and computers. The system functions at all times, issuing flood warnings and alerts in conjunction with announcements on radio and other media. Owners and occupiers of dwellings or businesses thought to be at risk can sign up to the scheme. The owners must confirm details with the Agency and to sign up for these warnings.
21.The approved access route for the development is taken via the Priory Site which is in the same ownership as the application site at the time of granting planning permission. However the access route, car park and adjoining site are also within the Broads Authority Area which therefore are the local planning authority for those developments. The applicant is advised to contact the Broads Authority for planning permission for use of the land as an access drive to serve the development hereby permitted, at: Yare House, 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich NR1 1RY with regard to this matter.
22.REASON FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION :- The proposal meets the criteria for alterations and extensions to buildings set out in Policies CS1, CS2, CS6, CS8, CS9, CS10, CS11, CS13, GSP5, A1, L1, L2, E1, E3 of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan.
