No.Condition Text
1.The proposed dwelling is located outside the residential development boundaries for the village of Filby established in the Broads Local Plan adopted in May 1997. This proposal is contrary to Policy H2 which states that, other than in exceptional circumstances referred to in other policies, residential development will not be permitted outside these development boundaries. The arguments presented in support of this application are not considered adequate to justify a departure from this policy and had it been allowed this would have established a precedent which would have made similar proposals outside residential development boundaries, both here and elsewhere in the Broads Authority's area, more difficult to resist.
2.Furthermore, the proposed dwelling is served by a private access which is unsuitable to cater for any intensification of vehicular use whatsoever by reason of its restricted width, substandard construction, lack of passing provision and restricted levels of visibility at its junction with the A1064 main road. In addition, the highway authority has a policy not to permit more than five dwellings to be served from a private roadway which is the number presently served off the access in question. Notwithstanding the arguments relating to the possible removal of one existing access to ths private road and the provision of turning and passing space, the proposal, as submitted, is considered inadequate in terms of highway requirements and thus contrary to Policy TC8 of the Broads Local Plan 1997.
