| 1. | In order to maintain and enhance the range of tourist facilities and
attractions on the seafront,Policy TR9 in the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide
Local Plan,as recommended for modification and accepted by the Council on
26th.January 1999,states :-
Subject to other policies in the Plan,and to there being no proliferation
of any use which would dominate or significantly reduce the existing
range of alternative tourist facilities and attractions,the Council will
favourably consider proposals to improve the range and quality of tourist
facilities and attractions,including innovative proposals likely to
increase the Borough's popularity as a holiday destination.
The proposed development would be contrary to this policy in that the
Council considers that there is at present an over dominance of amusement
arcades along Marine Parade. |
| 2. | In the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan,as recommendec for
modification and accepted by the Council on 26th.January 1999,Policy TR11
states :-
Planning permission for new amusement arcades, whether involving a
change of use,extension to existing premises or redevelopment, will only
be permitted in the following areas :-
(A) 'Prime Holiday Attraction' sites;
(B) 'Prime Commercial Holiday Complexes' which are self contained units
and where access to the arcade would be from within the complex,and,
(C) 'Holiday Parks' and complexes subject to there being a proven need
and the use being solely for residents of the site.
Access to the proposed development,which is within a designated 'Prime
Commercial Holiday' area, would not be gained from within a holiday complex
The proposal would therefore be contrary to this policy and its stated
objective to prevent an over provision of amusement arcades. |
| 3. | To ensure that the needs and expectation of visitors are met whilst at the
same time safeguarding the character the area, Policy TR23(E) the Great
Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan as recommended for modification and
accepted by the Council on 26th.January 1999,states that :-
In the Great Yarmouth Seafront area, with the assistance of its
statutory development control powers, the Council will, subject to the
likely effect on adjoining or neighbouring land uses, favourably consider
proposals for entertainment development within areas designated as Prime
Holiday Attraction or Prime Commercial Holiday areas on the Proposals Map
The proposed development is considered to be contrary to this concept in
that it would be detrimental to the residential amenities at present
enjoyed by the occupiers of nearby dwellings by virtue of additional late
night noise and general disturbance, especially as the commercial facade
of the building, which contains entrances and substantial illuminations,
has been designed to front significantly onto the quieter,open area of
Trafalgar Square where it will face towards dwellings there and on Apsley
Road. |
| 4. | The development of the site in depth by the erection of a building of the
height proposed and of a design consisting of an unfortunate amalgam of
architectural styles would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the
locality, particularly as it would have the effect of extending the
commercial character of Marine Parade into Trafalgar Road.The proposal
would therefore be contrary to Policy UDN3 in the Great Yarmouth Borough-
Wide Local Plan as recommended for modification and accepted by the Council
on 26th.January 1999, which states :-
The Council will permit new development, including modern architecture,
which provides a high quality of design and townscape complimentary to
its setting, and which would result in enhancement of an area.To this
end the Council will not oppose proposals for the suitable replacement
of existing buildings or structures which detract from the character or
appearance of an area. |
