| 1. | Condition 4 of planning permission 06/21/0773/F was imposed to ensure that there was a mechanism in place to guarantee that the smaller, single storey extension was provided which would balance the appearance of the proposal and ensure that the two storey annexe does not appear overdominant in comparison to the main dwelling. Removing condition 4 would mean that there would be no mechanism in place to ensure that the single storey extension is provided and this would mean that the dwelling could remain in its current appearance which is unbalanced and discordant, with the annexe appearing overly dominant in the street scene. The application would therefore be contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS9, Local Plan Part 2 (2021) Policies H9 and H10, along with Paragraphs 135 and 140 of the NPPF (December 2023) and the Great Yarmouth Borough-wide Design Code Supplementary Planning Document (adopted January 2024). |
| 2. | The application site is located within the Green 2.5km+ Indicative Habitat Impact Zone but the application is not supported by an up-to-date shadow template Habitats Regulations Assessment, which is necessary for the purposes of satisfying the Council's duty to ensure decisions avoid causing impacts on internationally protected sites. Whilst the Green Infrastructure Recreational Avoidance Mitigation Strategy (GIRAMS) has identified that most dwellings require a financial mitigation measure (which has not been received in full), an up-to-date Habitats Regulations Assessment is still required to ensure that the only mitigation required is that of the GIRAMS contribution. As such the Local Planning Authority cannot fully assess the additional impact of the development on designated sites within or adjoining the Borough without satisfaction that the appropriate level of required mitigation would be provided. Consequently, the application is contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS11 and Local Plan Part 2 (2021) Policies GSP5 and GSP8 and does not comply with The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. |
| 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. |
