| 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, no evidence has been put forward in respect of the need for
the dwelling in this location 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:-

| 3. | (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
(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, (i) the dwelling would be sited
outside any area shown on the Proposals Map as being designated for
future residential development, (ii) no evidence has been put forward in
respect of the need for the dwelling in this location 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
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) more than 10%
additional floorspace would be created, and (ii) the design, scale and
character of the proposed dwelling would not be compatible with its
surroundings. |
