| 1. | The Norfolk Structure Plan states that 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 dwelling would be sited in
the countryside outside an existing settlement. Furthermore, the evidence
that has been put forward in respect of the need for the dwelling in this
location is insufficient to justify a departure from national and local
policies designed to protect the countryside. |
| 2. | The Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan states that outside the
areas shown on the Proposals Map designated for future residential
development planning permission for new residential development, or changes
of use, 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 or adjoining settlement and there are no overriding environmental
objections. The following criteria must be met:-
(a) the dwelling(s) are essential for the purposes stated;
(b) the requirement is long-term (i.e. more than 10 years) and it is
related to a sustainable and/or long term viable use and dwellings
in neighbouring settlements could not reasonably meet the need; and
continued on next page:- |
| 3. | (c) the proposed dwelling can be satisfactorily sited in close proximity
to existing buildings and can be designed to blend in with its
immediate surroundings. A condition will be imposed limiting
occupancy to the specific purpose which justifies the granting of
planning permission.
The proposal would be contrary to the provisions of the Deposit Version of
the Borough-Wide Local Plan in that the dwelling would (i) be sited outside
any area shown on the Proposals Map as being designated for future
residential development, (ii) the evidence that has been put forward in
respect of the need for the dwelling in this location is insufficient to
justify a departure from national and local policies designed to protect
the countryside, and (iii) the dwelling would have an adverse impact on the
landscape and be harmful to the appearance of this rural area. |
| 4. | The Deposit Version of the Borough-Wide Local Plan states that within all
areas of landscape interest, as shown on the Proposals Map, the Borough
Council will protect the character and amenity value of the landscape from
inappropriate development. The proposal would be contrary to this policy
in that the dwelling, which would be located in such an area, would have
an adverse impact on the landscape and be harmful to the appearance of this
rural area. |
| 5. | The surrounding highway network is unsuitable to cater for the additional
traffic movements that the proposal will generate. Furthermore, the
junction of Common Road (unsurfaced track) and Cess Road has severely
restricted visibility to the oncoming traffic direction and emerging
vehicles will interfere with the safety and freeflow of other highway users
on Cess Road. |
