| 1. | The site is within an area designated as a Secondary Holiday Accommodation
Area in the Modified Deposit Version of the Great Yarmouth Borough-Wide
Local Plan and the relevant policy to the Plan (TR14A) states that :-
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 area or to the users
of adjoining property or land;
(C) Parking and servicing arrangements can be provided in accordance with
the Council's standards set out in Appendix X to Chapter 3 of the Plan
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,guest house or property.
It is apparent from the numerous strong objections to the proposal that the
previous unauthorised use of the small units of accommodation as
residential flats had resulted in a significant adverse affect on the
character of this mainly holiday area by reason of noise,general
disturbance and unneighbourly behaviour to the detriment of tourism and
residential amenity.The proposal is therefore deemed to be contrary to
Policy TR14A and prejudicial to the Council's objective to safeguard
tourist accommodation and prevent unneighbourly uses.
