1.The site is within an area designated as 'Secondary Holiday Accommodation' in the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan Modified Deposit Version Policy TR14A of which states :- Subject to other policies in the Plan, within 'Secondary Holiday Accommodation' Areas, as shown on the Proposals Map, proposals for change of use to a single dwelling, self contained residential flats, residential homes or nursing homes may be permitted if the applicant can demonstrate that: (A) The proposed development would not have a significant adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively on the character of the area; (B) The proposed development would not have a significant adverse effect on the residential amenity of those living in the areaor to the users of adjoining property or land; (C) Parking and servicing arrangements can be provided in accordance with the Council's standards; and (D) In the case of an acceptable proposal for a change of use of part of a property, the proposed development would result in an improvement to the remainder of the hotel,or guest house or property. It is considered that the proposed use would have a significant adverse effect on the character of the area and on the residential amenity of those living in the area as well as to the users of adjoining property or land. Consequently the proposal would be contrary to parts (A) and (B) of Policy TR14A. Furthermore as no details have been submitted to indicate that the proposal would result in an improvement to the remainder of the hotel the submission does not accord with part (D) of Policy TR14A.

2.Policy HOU29 in the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide Local Plan Modified Deposit Version states:- Planning permission will be granted for the conversion of premises to hostels or common lodging houses only where : (A) The property does not front onto the west side of Southtown Road between Pasteur Road and Beccles Road; (B) The property is in an area of mixed uses ( i.e. not in a street or area in which the land-uses are primarily industrial, residential or 'Prime Holiday Accommodation'); (C) The property is within easy reach of public transport and local amenities/services; (D) Clustering of hostel accommodation does not occur to a degree which would significantly adversely effect the character of the street or area; (E) Car parking can be provided on the site on the site in accordance with the Council's standards. NOTE: As guidance the Borough Council will normally consider more than one hostel in a street to be an unacceptable level in relation to criteria (D) above. The proposal is contrary to part (B) of this policy and therefore prejudicial to the Council's objective to provide for lodging needs whilst protecting residential amenity.
