| 1. | 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 external staircase by virtue of its size and proximity to the neighbouring properties would be in conflict with criteria (a) and (b). |
| 2. | Policy HOU20 of the Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan states that change of use of existing dwellings will only be permitted where it will not significantly adversely affect the residential amenity of neighbouring property or the amenity of the locality. The proposal is contrary to the objectives to HOU20 in that the proposed use of the premises as two flats would have a significant effect on the residential amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining properties and on the amenities of the locality through use of the proposed external stair- case and by reason of noise and general disturbance. Furthermore no provision can be made for off-street parking and approval of the development would create a precedent for similar sub-division of properties in the locality with a resultant increase in residential density and parking requirements and additional congestion and obstruction of the public highway. |
| 3. | The formation of an outside staircase as the only means of access to the first floor flat would conflict with the Councils adopted non-statutory policy relating to such proposals in that the stairway is not enclosed and would involve elements of danger, be visual prominent and reduce the privacy enjoyed by the occupants of the adjoining properties. |
