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. Having regard to the large number of small units of accommodation involved, which are obviously not intended for family use,it is considered that their occupation on an all the year round basis would constitute an over-intense use of the property which would have a significant adverse effect on the character and amenities of this mainly holiday area.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.
2.If permitted the proposal would result in the creation of an excessive number of permanent residential units within the premises which would be unduly cramped and which by reason of their layout would not afford the standard of residential amenity normally required for new residential development.
