1.The height and bulk of the proposed first floor extension built on the rear boundary of the adjoining dwellings would constitute an unneighbourly form of development that would be detrimental to the amenities enjoyed by the occupiers of the adjacent residential properties by reason of overshadowing and loss of visual amenity.
2.Policy HOU19 of the Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough Wide Local Plan states that extensions and alterations to dwellings will be permitted where the privacy and amenity of neighbours are adequately safeguarded. The extension or alteration must :- (a) Be in keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and the character of the area; (b) Not prejudice the amenities of a neighbouring dwelling ; and (c) not result in overdevelopment of the site's curtilage. The proposal is contrary to the objectives of policy HOU19 in that the proposed extensions would prejudice the amenities of the occupiers of the dwellings to the west of the proposed extension and would result in an overdevelopment of the curtilage of the site.
