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 two storey addition to provide a further unit of accommodation would prejudice the amenities of the occupiers of nearby dwellings by reason of overlooking and overshadowing. Furthermore given the extensive site coverageof the existing buildings on the site it is considered the proposal constitutes an overdevelopment of the site.
