1.The Hemsby Local Plan Review states that "New residential development will, at the discretion of the Borough Council, be acceptable on the remaining vacant plots in the vicinity of Fakes Road, Newport. Development shall be limited to individual dwellings in keeping with the scale and form of existing development, but the sub-division of plots will be resisted". The proposal does not meet the criteria for permanent residential development in view of the limited plot size and the relationship of the existing bungalow to adjacent properties, and would, if approved, set an undesirable precedent for similar proposals in this area. It is also considered that the nature of the site and its small size, in terms of the limited amount of private amenity space, render it unsuitable for the extended period of occupancy which is the subject of the alternative proposal.
2.The forthcoming Deposit version of the Borough-wide Local Plan states "In areas of mixed holiday and residential use, as identified on the Proposals Map, the development of vacant plots, re-construction or alteration of buildings or structures will notbe permitted unless the applicant can demonstrate that :- (a) the highway network is of an adequate standard and construction; (b) the development can be adequately serviced; (c) the Borough Council's current standards in respect of on-site car parking can be met; continued on next page :-
3.(d) there is adequate private open space on site; and (e) where appropriate the requirements of Policy INF21 (coastal erosion) can be met". The proposed change to permanent residential use does not meet these criteria in view of the sub-standard nature of the highway network serving the site and the limited amount of private open space thereon, and would, consequently, be contrary to the provisions of the forthcoming Deposit version of the Borough-wide Local Plan.
