No.Condition Text
1.Due to the proximity and height of the proposed extension, the development creates increased bulk close to the boundary with No. 33 Staithe Road to the immediate east of the site, which would result in an increased overshadowing to their closest rear elevation windows and would also contribute to an increased sense of overbearing to this neighbour. The proposal would also result in an unacceptable level of overlooking to the northern neighbours, especially No. 24 Thurne Rise to the north, who would also experience an increased sense of overbearing from the proposed first floor element. Therefore, the application is contrary to Great Yarmouth's adopted Core Strategy policy CS09 and adopted Local Plan Part 2 policies A1 and H9 which both seek to protect the amenity of neighbours.
2.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 it is considered possible would seek to find 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 in the manner proposed and has been refused for the reasons set out above.
