| 1. | The Norfolk Structure Plan states :- "Outside towns and villages planning
permission for new residential development will not be given unless it is
justified for agriculture, forestry, organised recreation or tourist
facilities or the expansion of existing institutions, and the need for the
development could not be met within an existing settlement and there are no
overriding environmental objections". The proposal would be contrary to
the provisions of the Structure Plan in that The Glebe is outside the
established village 'centre' of Hemsby where residential development would
normally be permitted. |
| 2. | The road infrastructure serving the site is inadequate to meet the needs of
residential development. Furthermore, the proposal conflicts with Norfolk
County Council's policy of allowing no more than four dwellings to be
served off an unmade road. |
| 3. | The 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 not be permitted unless the applicant can demonstrate
that :-
(a) the highway network is of an adequate standard of 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 :- |
| 4. | (d) there is adequate private open space on site; and
(e) the development is not likely to be affected by marine erosion".
The proposal does not meet these criteria in view of the sub-standard
nature of the highway network serving the site and would, consequently, be
contrary to the provisions of the Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local
Plan. |
| 5. | The Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan states :- "Replacement
dwellings in the countryside outside the existing and proposed residential
areas, as shown on the Proposals Map, will be permitted provided that :-
(a) the existing dwelling is considered habitable by the Borough Council;
(b) the replacement is of an enhanced, improved or similar design, scale
and character to the existing dwelling and is compatible with its
surroundings;
(c) the amount of additional floorspace created is no greater than 10% of
the existing dwelling, excluding any provision for a garage or
outbuildings;
(d) the replacement dwelling is located on, or immediately adjacent to,
the site of the existing dwelling and within its curtilage;
(e) there is no change in the number of dwelling units; and
(f) the building is not listed as a Grade I, II* or II in the current
Register of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest".
The proposal does not meet these criteria in that (i) the existing property
is not considered to be habitable, (ii) more than 10% of additional floor-
space would be created, and (iii) the design, scale and character of the
proposed dwelling would not be compatible with its surroundings. |
