2A Grove Road Cromer Norfolk NR27 0BY

1. 1.In the opinion of the local planning authority, the development would, by reason of its design and appearance in relation to the original dwellinghouse to which the building is attached, appear as a contrived element within the streetscene rather than reading as a distinct, separate dwelling, contrary to its character and appearance. The proposal is therefore contrary to the aims of Policy EN 4 of the North Norfolk Core Strategy and policy ENV8 of the emerging North Norfolk Local Plan.
2. 2.In the opinion of the local planning authority the development has resulted in a poor standard of residential amenity for the occupiers of both the original dwelling (2 Grove Road) and the new dwelling (2A Grove Road) in terms of levels of privacy between both the dwellings and their external amenity areas/gardens due to their layout and the relationship between them. Furthermore, the external amenity area serving the new dwelling is of inadequate size to serve its intended purpose. The development is therefore contrary to Policy EN 4 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and policy ENV6 of the emerging North Norfolk Local Plan.
3. 3.The development lacks sufficient parking to cater for both the original dwelling (2 Grove Road) and the new dwelling (2A Grove Road), which would result in the occupiers of both dwellings being reliant on on-street parking in a location that already suffers from heavy parking pressures which would be exacerbated. In the opinion of the local planning authority this would be detrimental to the streetscape, potentially obstruct emergency services and pedestrians, and would encourage parking in unsafe locations such as within highway junctions which would be harmful to highway safety. The development is therefore contrary to Policies EN 4, CT 5 and CT 6 of the adopted North Norfolk Core Strategy and policy HC7 of the emerging North Norfolk Local Plan. This Decision refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning Acts and does not include any consent or approval under any other enactment, bylaw, order or regulation.
