1.The Deposit version of the Borough-wide Local Plan contains the following policies which seek to safeguard and enhance the area's character and improve the built environment :- Policy UDN1 The Borough Council will seek to retain and enhance those aspects of the existing built urban and rural environments which are fundamental to the Borough's traditional character and identity by requiring all future development proposals to be in general accordance with the traditional principles outlined in the Great Yarmouth Design Guide and, where necessary, initiating and/or supporting improvement schemes. Policy UND3 New development which seeks to establish a high quality of design and townscape and compliments the character of the town and villages will be permitted, provided it complies with the principles of the Great Yarmouth Design Guide. Modern architecture which complements, improves and enhances the existing townscape will be encouraged. Where existing buildings and structures clearly detract from the townscape of an area, the Borough Council will support their refurbishment or replacement. continued on next page :-
2.Policy UND7 In considering proposals for new development in rural areas, the Borough Council will expect a high standard of design in accordance with the principles of the Great Yarmouth Design Guide. Developments which arelikely to detract from the rural scene or character of the area will be resisted. It is envisaged that under these policies modern buildings should contribute to the continuity of architecture and that these buildings should not be a pastiche of the past, and, particularly, that new development should improve and enhance the traditional character of an area by attention to the location, scale and form of the buildings, including the correct use of materials traditional to the area. The proposal, in terms of the design and external appearance of the dwelling and garage, does not meet these criteria and would, consequently, be contrary to the provisions of the Borough-wide Local Plan.
