| 1. | Policy EC.2 of the Norfolk Structure Plan states that the main locations
for employment growth will be in the main urban centre of Great Yarmouth.
Outside Great Yarmouth and villages such as Caister-on-Sea Policy EC.5
applies. This policy states that permission for industrial development
will only be granted where, inter alia, (i) there are particular reasons
for the development not being located on established or allocated sites,
(ii) road access and other utility services are adequate, and (iii) there
are no overriding environmental objections. The proposal is considered to
be contrary to these policies in that the site lies outside the main urban
centre of Great Yarmouth and the village centre of Caister-on-Sea. It also
fails to meet the criteria of Policy EC.5 as specifically detailed in
reasons 2 and 3 below. |
| 2. | The introduction of further diverging and merging vehicular movements,
arising from the proposal, onto the A149 Caister Bypass are likely to have
an adverse effect upon highway safety and freeflow of traffic along the
bypass. |
| 3. | Policy C.2 of the Norfolk Structure Plan states that development which
would be detrimental to the character of areas of important landscape
quality (the Broads) will not normally be permitted. The proposal is
considered contrary to this policy in that the development would be a major
intrusion into the area of semi-open countryside between Great Yarmouth and
Caister-on-Sea.

| 4. | The Caister-on-Sea Local Plan (1985) states that permission will be granted
for new buildings to accommodate small employment generating uses provided
these are compatible with the local environment and are consistent with
other strategic and local policies, where access and services are adequate,
and where the new building(s) can be constructed without detrimentally
changing the character of the immediate surrounding area. The proposal is
contrary to the Plan in that the policies provide for small scale
development subject to specific policy based criteria and subject to
technical and other requirements being met which the applicant, for the
reasons stated in 2 and 3 above, has failed to meet. |
| 5. | The proposal is contrary to the "Pre-deposit" Consultation Draft Borough-
wide Local Plan in that it is premature and could be prejudicial to the
emergent strategy which is based on the principles set out in Norfolk
Structure Plan Policies EC.2 and EC.5 |
| 6. | The proposed development lies within an area of land subject to to fluvial
flooding and in an area designated as flood plain. As such, the
development will be at direct risk of flooding, and will increase the risk
of flooding elsewhere. |
