Great Yarmouth Borough Council

No.	Condition Text
1.	The residential use of the existing dwelling has been abandoned and so the proposal amounts to a new dwelling in the countryside which is considered to be contrary to Policy H6 of the Norfolk Structure Plan 1993 regarding residential development outside town and villages. This policy 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 could not be met within an existing settlement and there are no over-riding environmental objections. The proposal does not meet any of the exceptional circumstances referred to above.
2.	Policy H6 of the Broads Local Plan Deposit Version 1995 states that replacement dwellings in the countryside will be permitted provided the replacement would be of a similar scale to the existing dwelling and the design and external materials are appropriate to its setting; and the replacement will be located on the same site as the existing dwelling and there would be no increase in the number of dwellings; and the existing dwelling has a lawful residential use. The proposed replacement dwelling is of a far greater scale than the existing house and is considered to be contrary to the above policy. A dwelling of the scale and design proposed would be harmful to the rural character of this part of the Broads area and if allowed would set a precedent that would make it very difficult to control residential development in the countryside.
