| 1. | Policy TR17 of the Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide
Local Plan encourages the upgrading of holiday parks by comprehensive
improvements to, inter alia, landscaping. One of the criteria set out in
this Policy is the requirement of a high standard of landscaping to
integrate the development into the countryside, minimise intrusion and
create a high quality environment. The Kingfisher Holiday Park falls
within an area of Landscape Important to the Broadland Scene as defined in
the Proposals Maps of the above Plan. Policy NNV2 of the Local Plan
states that within such areas the character and amenity value of the
landscape will be protected from inappropriate development. Policy NNV4
seeks to resist all forms of development having an adverse impact on
such areas of landscape importance. The proposals to the frontage of the
Kingfisher Holiday Park, following the necessary highway improvements,
fail to assimilate the development in an appropriate manner into the
countryside. The type of fencing proposed is considered suburban in
appearance, inappropriate to a rural area and not adequate to either screen
the development effectively or integrate it into the rural scene. |
