1.In the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan Deposit Version, Policy HOU7 states that individual dwellings may be permitted within the village development limits of Runham provided that the following criteria can be met :- a) The proposal will not be significantly detrimental to the form, character and setting of the settlement. b) All public utilities are available including foul and surface water disposal and there are no capacity constraints which could preclude development. c) Suitable access arrangements can be made. d) An adequate range of public transport, community, education, open space/ playspace and social facilities are available in the settlement and, e) the proposal will not be significantly detrimental to the residential amenities of adjoining occupiers or users of land. Having regard to the position of the site within the settlement and the size of the adjacent properties, it is considered that the application site has insufficient width to satisfactorily accommodate a dwelling of suitable proportions.Consequently the proposal would result in a cramped form of development and would be contrary to the Borough-Wide Local Plan Deposit Version in that it would be significantly detrimental to the form and character of the settlement and part of the site falls outside the village development limit shown on the Proposals Map to the Plan.
2.Any dwelling erected on the site would be in close proximity to the existing soakaway and septic tank located on the application site but which serve the adjacent Village Hall and Old School House, and because of the necessary activities involved in emptying and maintaining these installations the proposed dwelling would not afford the standard of residential amenity normally looked for in new residential development.
