| 1. | In terms of 'location' the site is located outside of the development limits and within the Countryside, and is in an unsustainable location remote from schools, town centre shopping, health provision, and has restricted employment opportunities with limited scope for improving access by sustainable modes. The distance from the nearest service centre provision precludes any realistic opportunity of encouraging a modal shift away from the private car, with there being insufficient facilities nearby to meet day to day needs. Therefore the site is not located to minimise the need to travel and is not in a sustainable location for new development. As a result, the proposed development conflicts with the aims of sustainable development and does not satisfy the requirements of Policies CS01 and CS02 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan Core Strategy (2015) and Policy GSP1 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (2021), Chapter 5 of Norfolk's Local Transport Plan 4 Strategy 2021-2036 or the expectations of sustainable development within the NPPF. |
| 2. | In terms of 'location', 'land use' and 'amount of development', four new dwellings would erode the undeveloped and rural character of the site and would have an urbanising impact on the character and appearance of the area which would be out of keeping and this impact on character and appearance would be contrary to Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS9. |
| 3. | In terms of 'location', 'land use' and 'amount of development', the application site is located within the orange 400m to 2.5km Indicative Habitat Impact Zone and the application is not supported by an up-to-date shadow template Habitats Regulations Assessment, or financial mitigation payment which are both necessary for the purposes of satisfying the Council's duty to avoid impacts on internationally protected site through the use of the Green Infrastructure Recreational Avoidance Mitigation Strategy (GIRAMS). As such the Local Planning Authority and the Council as Competent Authority under the Habitats Regulations cannot fully assess the additional impact, in terms of indirect and direct impacts upon the internationally-designated sites within the Borough, without satisfaction that the required mitigation would be provided. As a result, the application is contrary to the adopted Great Yarmouth Core Strategy (2015) Policy CS11 and the adopted Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 Policies GSP5 and GSP8 (2021). |
| 4. | In terms of 'location', 'land use' and 'amount of development', the proposal has failed to address the public open space requirements of the development, whether by on-site provision or through means to secure financial contributions towards off-site provision. As such, the impacts of the development and the pressures the development places on public open spaces have not been mitigated. The proposal is, therefore, contrary to Great Yarmouth Local Plan Core Strategy (2015) Policies CS14 and CS15 and Policies GSP8 and H4 of the Great Yarmouth Local Plan Part 2 (2021). |
| 5. | 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. |
