OFFICERS' REPORTS TO
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE (EAST) - 26 NOVEMBER 2009
Each report for decision on this Agenda shows the Chief Officer responsible, the
recommendation of the Head of Planning and in the case of private business the
paragraph(s) of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 under which it is
considered exempt. None of the reports have financial, legal or policy implications save
where indicated.
PUBLIC BUSINESS - ITEM FOR DECISION
1.
BACTON – Tree Preservation Order (Bacton) 2009 No.5 Yfere, North Walsham
Road
To consider whether to confirm a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) to protect a single
Oak tree at the above site.
Background
The Order was served in response to a request for a constraints check from an
arboricultural contractor who said the owners of the property wanted to fell the Oak
tree. A Landscape Officer visited the site and assessed the tree’s amenity value.
The Officer considered the tree had high amenity value and was under threat so a
TPO was served.
The Order was duly served on 22 July 2009.
Representations
Objections to the Order:One letter of objection to the Order has been received from the owners of the
property.
The main objections are:
1. In the two years since the owners purchased the property the Oak tree has grown
considerably and is impeding light into the bungalow.
2. The branches are touching the roof and could cause damage.
3. The tree is in close proximity to the property and neighbouring properties and in
strong winds could become a danger.
4. The residents are living in fear of the tree causing damage.
5. The tree cannot be clearly seen from public places.
Appraisal
In response to the objections the following comments are made:
a) The impact of the tree on the property regarding size, shadow and cover can be
addressed through appropriate management. An application for work to the tree
from the owners via an arborist has been approved so this work can be carried out.
The agreed work would considerably thin the canopy of the tree and remove the
branches from near the roof.
b) The arborist who inspected the tree for the application to carry out work raised no
concerns over the tree’s safety or risk to property from major failure.
Development Control Committee (East)
1
26 November 2009
c) The Landscape Officer carried out a Tree Evaluation Method for Preservation
Orders (TEMPO) to assess the amenity value of the tree. This nationally recognised
system scored the tree as “definitely merits a TPO”. The tree can be clearly seen
from Bacton Road and contributes to the tree line in the local area.
Human Rights Implications
It is considered that the serving of the Order may raise issues relevant to
Article 8: The right to respect for private and family life, and
Article 1 of the First Protocol: The right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions.
Having considered the likely impact on an individual’s human rights, and the general
interest of the public, it is anticipated that the confirmation of this Order would be
proportionate, justified and in accordance with planning law
Main Issues for Consideration
1. Whether or not the Order was served correctly in accordance with the relevant
legislation and the Council’s adopted policy.
Officers are satisfied that the proper procedures were followed when serving the
Order.
2. Whether or not the Order has been served on trees of sufficient amenity value to
warrant a Preservation Order.
Officers consider that the tree makes a significant contribution to the quality of the
local environment and its enjoyment by the public and that it therefore has high
amenity value.
In the meantime the owner’s proposed work to the tree has been given consent
by the Council, thereby reducing the impact on the property and addressing the
objections raised.
RECOMMENDATION :That the Order be confirmed.

MUNDESLEY CONSERVATION AREA: ADOPTION
APPRAISAL AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
OF
CHARACTER
Agreement is sought for the adoption of ‘Mundesley Conservation Area Character
Appraisal and Management Proposals’ (October 2009) for statutory planning
purposes and as a material consideration in the planning process.
1.0
BACKGROUND
The Council’s Corporate Plan Changing Gear 2008-11 identifies the preparation of
character appraisals as a key target with the aim now of completing 30% coverage of
the District’s 81 Conservation Areas by March 2011. This work is seen as central to
the Council’s corporate aim of protecting and enhancing the natural and built
environment of North Norfolk.
Development Control Committee (East)

26 November 2009
An up to date Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan provides the
backcloth, together with the planning policies contained in the North Norfolk Local
Development Framework, to good decision-making, particularly in respect of
applications for development. All good Local Planning Authorities should also ensure
that not only is the character and setting of Conservation Areas maintained but that
they are also enhanced.
At the meeting of this Committee on 31 July 2008, Members gave approval for the
Draft Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Proposals for
Mundesley to be taken forward for public consultation. Subsequently a six week
period of consultation was undertaken with a public meeting to discuss the Appraisal
document on 9th July 2009. The Draft Appraisal document has now been amended to
accommodate changes put forward during the consultation period.
2.0
PUBLIC CONSULTATION
The six week consultation period was undertaken from 1 June - 12 July 2009. This
included:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A public exhibition on display in the Mundesley Coronation Hall.
An open meeting held at the Coronation Hall.
Leaflets delivered to every property within the Conservation Area.
The appraisal document made available to the public on the Council website.
Press release.
Posters displayed throughout the Village.
42 written responses were received.
At the end of the consultation period, a public meeting was to discuss the draft
Appraisal. 25 members of the public attended.
The attached table at Appendix 1 summarises comments received through the
consultation process from both members of the public and Council Officers and
shows how they have been incorporated into the revised document.
It is now brought to the Committee for final adoption and incorporation into the
planning process.
Note:
A copy of the latest version ‘Mundesley Conservation Area: Character
Appraisal & Management Proposals’ (October 2009) is available for inspection in the
Member’s Room; copies can also be produced on request.
3.0
OVERALL ASSESSMENT
A late Victorian and Edwardian building boom left its mark on Mundesley in the form
of some imposing hotel buildings, guest houses, large villas and shops. The
surrounding landscape (part of the North Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty) and the architectural mix of older coastal properties with buildings of the
Edwardian era give the Mundesley and its Conservation Area a very distinct
character. It contains predominantly nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings
- some notably taller and more imposing than other village buildings of that period alongside some older flint cottages, outbuildings and flint walls. In settlement
development terms the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was the ‘hey
day’ for Mundesley. The arrival of the railway was the catalyst. It brought with it the
use of building materials from further afield and the design of several buildings with a
strong railway influence.
Development Control Committee (East)
3
26 November 2009
To preserve and enhance this special character is the main aim of the character
appraisal and the associated management proposals.
3.1 Key Characteristics
• Coastal location – the settlement’s position on high cliffs overlooking a wide
sandy beach;
• The Mundesley Beck valley and Mouth create an undulating landscape and
distinctive feature;
• The historic buildings combine imposing late Victorian and Edwardian buildings
and the flint and thatch of the older coastal community of Mundesley;
• High flint boundary walls, often with arched door openings;
• Important multi-functional green spaces such as Gold Park and the cliff top green
along with mature garden vegetation;
• Landmark buildings such as Trafalgar Court.
3.2 Key Issues
• Permitted development resulting in loss of architectural details, boundary
treatment and detrimental alterations and extensions: need to protect identified
areas through Article 4(2) directions.
• Buildings of Local Interest require identification and acknowledgement
• Need for siting and design of new development to relate to historic context and
prevailing character.
• Quality design and effective maintenance of the ‘public realm’ including parking
provision.
• A Conservation Area boundary that properly reflects the special architectural or
historic interest of the village and which can be justified.
• Retention and management of green spaces.
4.0
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
4.1 Boundary review
It is recommended that four changes are made to the existing Conservation Area
boundary:
•
•
•
•
Extend the Conservation Area along Beach Road to link the two currently
separate parts of the Conservation Area (between the Manor Hotel and the
Lifeboat Inn).
Extend the Conservation Area to the west along Cromer Road to include All
Saints Church and Trafalgar Court. This area makes a significant contribution to
character of Mundesley and forms an important entranceway, instantly evoking a
sense of place.
Extend the Conservation Area to include the public garden on Beach Road and
number 5 High Street to link with Gold Park.
Extend the Conservation Area to include the railway houses on Church Lane and
Manor Road (for their historic and architectural value).
4.2 Alterations to unlisted buildings and Article 4(2) Directions
Recent years have witnessed the serious erosion of architectural character through
incremental change. Throughout the Conservation Area there has been a significant
loss of original architectural detailing such as timber sash windows, doors and
general coherence, in terms of front enclosures on private dwellings being lost owing
to permitted development rights being exercised.
Development Control Committee (East)
4
26 November 2009
Specifically, Russell Terrace has been identified as being under particular threat. The
terrace still retains the majority of architectural features from the time of construction
in 1904. It is proposed that an Article 4 Direction be placed on the terrace in order to
protect its uniform Edwardian façade. This issue will be dealt with in a separate
report to a future meeting of the Committee.
4.3 Protection of buildings of local architectural and historical interest
Mundesley contains a good number of historic buildings that are unlisted, but which
make a positive contribution to the character of the Conservation Area. This is either
due to their age, materials, relation to surrounding historic buildings, architectural
detailing, ‘townscape’ value or to a combination of these factors. PPG15 (paragraph
6.16) makes provision for local authorities to draw up lists of locally important
buildings which make a valuable contribution to the local scene or local history, but
which do not merit national listing. These will be given additional protection; however
they will not enjoy the full protection of statutory listing.
The following buildings are proposed to be included on the local list:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

4.4 New Development
Some developments in the Conservation Area are now considered to be out of
character with the area due to their inappropriate design, siting, scale, or materials.
The inherent building styles and types characteristic of Mundesley are a strength and
should be reflected in new development. The siting of new development should be
considered with particular care. It is recommended that all new development
conforms to the advice in this Appraisal, as well as to the North Norfolk Design
Guide.
4.5 Traffic Management
The degree of through traffic and on-street parking throughout the village is having a
negative impact on the Conservation Area in terms of general environment and
overall functionality. North Norfolk District Council will need to work with Norfolk
County Council and the Highway Authority to address this issue. It is recommended
that schemes be brought forward for enhancement as and when the opportunity
arises.
Development Control Committee (East)
5
26 November 2009
4.6 Public Realm Issues
Areas within the public realm identified for enhancement include approaches into the
village, shop fronts, the prevalence of overhead wiring and street clutter. The Council
will investigate and bring forward enhancement schemes at the Gold Park (such as
boundary treatments and enhancement of the entrance area) as well as along the
main thoroughfares of the Village.
The highway environment is of particular importance and the Council will continue to
liaise with the Highway Authority and ensure that the agreed palette of materials is
adhered to, especially in respect of size and tone of 'yellow lines'.
5.0
BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
The next stage in this process is to produce a programme for delivery of the agreed
Management Proposals. At this point specific budgetary implications will need to be
assessed and agreed. The implementation of any enhancement scheme will of
course be subject to the availability of resources. However much can be achieved
through more effective and integrated use of current budgets at all levels of
government.
6.0
CONCLUSION
Mundesley has retained its special character and its built heritage provides the basis
for a renewed pride in the seaside village. It is important that the
District Council as Local Planning Authority uses its powers to protect its character,
for future generations to enjoy.
7.0
RECOMMENDATIONS
That authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Building Control to confirm
adoption of the document, subject to consideration of any further views of Mundesley
Parish Council and in consultation with Local Members and the Committee Chair,
and that subsequently the document entitled ‘Mundesley Conservation Area:
Character Appraisal & Management Proposals’ be included as a material
consideration in the planning process.
7.1
That the proposed boundary changes as recommended in the draft Appraisal
document be adopted and publicised in accordance with the Planning (Listed
Buildings & Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
7.2
That a programme of enhancement and improvement schemes is prepared
for the Conservation Area and that appropriate budgetary provision is sought.

STALHAM CONSERVATION
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
AREA:
CHARACTER
APPRAISAL
AND
Agreement is sought for the draft Conservation Area Character Appraisal and
Management Proposals for Stalham to be approved for public consultation.
1. INTRODUCTION
North Norfolk has 81 Conservation Areas and over 2,200 Listed Buildings. The
District’s built heritage and natural environment contribute considerably to the quality
of life for people living and working in the District as well as those visiting it. However
many of the District’s Conservation Areas were designated in the 1970s and 1980s
and are overdue for review. This is important for several reasons:
(a) An up to date Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan provides the
backcloth, together with the planning policies contained in the North Norfolk Local
Development Framework, to good decision-making, particularly in respect of
applications for development.
(b) All Local Planning Authorities should always ensure that not only are the
character and setting of Conservation Areas maintained but that they are also
enhanced.
(c) The preparation of Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans can
offer a real and practical opportunity for communities to engage in the future
management of their historic environment.
(d) The Council’s Corporate Plan Changing Gear 2008-11 identifies the preparation
of character appraisals as a key target with the aim now of completing 30% coverage
of the district’s 81 Conservation Areas by March 2011. This work is seen as integral
and central to the Council’s corporate aim of protecting and enhancing the natural
environment and built heritage of North Norfolk.
2. STATUTORY BACKGROUND
Conservation Areas are designated under the provision of Section 69 of the Planning
(Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. A Conservation Area is defined
as ‘an area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of
which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’.
Section 71 of the same Act requires local planning authorities to formulate and
publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of these Conservation
Areas. Section 72 also specifies that, in making a decision on an application for
development within a Conservation Area, special attention must be paid to the
desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of that area.
2.1 Purposes
The purpose of the Conservation Area Appraisal is to:
•
Define the special interest of the Conservation Area and identify the issues
which threaten the special qualities of the conservation area (Part 1:
Character Appraisal).
Development Control Committee (East)

26 November 2009
•
The Management Proposals identify revised policy or practical projects which
can safeguard and enhance the character of the Conservation Area (Part 2:
Management Proposals).
3. ASSESSMENT OF THE STALHAM CONSERVATION AREA
Note: Copies of the draft Stalham Conservation Area Character Appraisal and
Management Plan are available for inspection in the Members Room.
The format of the Conservation Area Appraisal includes the planning policy context; a
summary and assessment of its special interest, including location and setting;
historic development and archaeology; layout and plan form; architectural and
townscape character; spatial analysis and key views; character analysis including the
qualities of buildings; prevailing uses and the contribution of green spaces and
suggested boundary changes.
There are two Conservation Areas in Stalham. One, Stalham Staithe, is focused on
the historic area, south of the A149. The second known as Stalham Conservation
Area is centred on the High Street and it is this one which is the subject of this
appraisal. Stalham town centre was designated a Conservation Area by North
Norfolk District Council in January 1975. Whilst there are just five Listed Buildings
within the Conservation Area there are a number of other buildings of local interest
that also make a very positive contribution to the area.
The general character of the Conservation Area is that of a small Victorian town. The
linear High Street runs approximately west-north-west to east-south-east. To the
south of the High Street, there is a series of informal cottage rows. The High Street
slopes gradually beyond the church to the east where it converges, with Ingham
Road from the north and Lower Staithe Road from the south. The line of the High
Street then continues eastwards as a mainly residential road towards Stalham Green
and Sutton. The Conservation Area ends with the Church Farm complex on the north
side of Yarmouth Road.
To the south, the Conservation Area continues along the eastern side of Lower
Staithe Road. Aside from the Smallburgh Rural District Council Offices (built 1935),
the buildings here mostly date from the first half of the nineteenth century and display
a variety of scales of domestic buildings and outbuildings.
The Conservation Area follows Brumstead Road to the north, roughly running parallel
with the High Street. Various industrial uses (as well as two schools and the church
and churchyard extension) at the eastern end give way to large late nineteenth and
early twentieth century residential plots towards the west.
Large residential development programmes followed in the 1960s and 1970s, which
saw the population of the town more than double within a twenty year period. In
recent years, the biggest physical change to the town has been the arrival of the
Tesco Supermarket, the site of which directly abuts the Conservation Area boundary
to the south.
Many of the District’s Conservation Areas have been seriously damaged over the
years by the gradual erosion of character and appearance caused by the ‘permitted
development’ rights which accrue to all householders and Stalham is no different. It is
important that this matter be addressed, so that the character of Stalham is
safeguarded for the future.

engineering
Incoherent ‘public realm’ design (including street furniture)
Poor pedestrian signage and ineffective linkage between High Street and
supermarket.
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
Stalham and its Conservation Area have seen substantial change since 1975, but its
inherent ‘market town’ atmosphere remains. The Management Proposals seek to
address the issues identified by:
(a) Reviewing the Conservation Area boundary.
(b) Identifying opportunities for enhancement of the public realm.
(c) Introducing Article 4 Directions to stop the gradual erosion of character.
(d) Identifying buildings for Local Listing
(e) Seeking to improve the quality of new/infill development.
(f) Engaging with all sectors of the community.
5. TIMETABLE FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND FORMAL ADOPTION
It is envisaged that a four week public consultation period will take place before the
end of March 2010. This will include an exhibition and meeting for the public. The
document will be placed on the Council’s Website and comments invited. It is
anticipated that an amended document will be brought to Committee for final
adoption later in 2010.

Approved 09 Nov 2006
THE APPLICATION
The site comprises the building at 4, Market Street which is in a state of collapse
(following partial implementation of the earlier permission), an adjoining building (4a,
formerly the cycle shop) and the existing public toilets, (a single-storey building facing
the precinct and the churchyard). The proposed re-development consists of a twostorey building on the Market Street frontage re-creating the scale and form of the
building which originally stood on the site, a full three-storey building in a formal
Development Control Committee (East)
10
26 November 2009
Georgian style including a shop unit and replacement public toilets facing towards the
churchyard, and retention/conversion of the central building (4a) to facilitate one of
the retail units on the ground floor with flats above.
Amended plans have been submitted, reducing three originally proposed retail units
to two larger ones, re-arranging the internal toilet layout, and incorporating some
minor elevational changes.
REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE
At the request of the Councillors Gay and Wilkins on the grounds of:
The sensitivity of the site and the involvement of the District Council as owner of part
of the site.
TOWN COUNCIL
Supports, and makes detailed comments about internal layout of proposed toilets
(now incorporated into latest amended plans).
REPRESENTATIONS
One letter of support.
One letter requesting confirmation that disabled toilet will be provided and another
seeking provision of ambulant standard toilets (now incorporated into latest amended
plans.)
CONSULTATIONS
Conservation, Design and Landscape Manager (Conservation and Design) Comments on the key position the site holds in the town centre, the desperate need
of the building for attention, and the difficult challenges which have been faced in
coming up with a viable scheme given the confines of the site and its change in
levels. The scheme now put forward follows considerable pre-application
discussions.
The resulting scheme reflects a desire to respect existing structures both on and
bordering the site (in terms of scale and massing), as well as trying to maximise the
amount of useable floorspace.
Supports the scheme in that the design and appearance is acceptable and as it will
help to reinstate this part of the townscape. Recommends conditions in respect of
materials and joinery.
County Council (Highways) - No objections subject to no windows opening outwards
over the highway.
Sustainability Co-ordinator - No objections subject to conditions.
Police Architectural Liaison Officer - Commented on the original scheme and advised
that a controlled entry system should be installed to communal areas, lighting for
CCTV and safety and see through shutter gates to toilet recess (incorporated into
amended plans).
HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS
It is considered that the proposed development may raise issues relevant to
Article 8 : The right to respect for private and family life, and
Article 1 of The First Protocol: The right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions.
Having considered the likely impact on an individual's Human Rights, and the general
interest of the public, approval of this application as recommended is considered to
be justified, proportionate and in accordance with planning law.

POLICIES
North Norfolk Core Strategy (Adopted September 2008):
Policy SS 5: Economy (strategic approach to economic issues).
Policy EC 5: Location of retail and commercial leisure development (specifies
appropriate location according to size).
Policy EN 4: Design (specifies criteria that proposals should have regard to, including
the North Norfolk Design Guide and sustainable construction).
Policy EN 8: Protecting and enhancing the historic environment (prevents insensitive
development and specifies requirements relating to designated assets and other
valuable buildings).
Policy CT 6: Parking provision (requires compliance with the Council's car parking
standards other than in exceptional circumstances).
MAIN ISSUE FOR CONSIDERATION
Design and impact on Conservation Area.
APPRAISAL
This site is in a prominent position within the Conservation Area and its current poor
condition of partially demolished buildings results in significant detriment to this
approach into the town centre. The proposed scheme would result in a major
enhancement to the appearance of this part of the town centre and to the
Conservation Area. The scale and appearance of the proposed replacement
buildings are considered acceptable and the development would significantly improve
the setting of the churchyard and the approach into the precinct from the Market
Place.
The proposed scheme is considered to address in a successful manner the change
in levels and the scale of buildings that exist in the vicinity. It would also enhance the
setting of the adjacent buildings, and of the churchyard. Although the three-storey
element of the re-development would be higher than the existing one and two-storey
buildings presently on the site, this is not considered to be a significant issue where
there is a similar variety of building heights and styles in this town centre location.
The retention of retail uses on the ground floor would ensure that the proposal
complies with Policy SS 5. The shopping frontage would be retained on the western
(Market Street) and northern frontages of the site.
The proposal includes six flats, but on this restricted town centre site it is not possible
to include any on-site parking. Policy CT 6 of the Core Strategy recognises that in
highly accessible locations and where reduced provision of parking is necessary to
enhance a Conservation Area these standards can be varied.
The new public toilets take into account the need for full disabled and ambulant
standard facilities and the comments of the Police Architectural Liaison Officer have
been incorporated in the latest amended plans by incorporating a lockable gate
across the entrance to the toilets.
In conclusion it is considered that the proposals comply with Development Plan
policy and consequently approval is recommended.

STALHAM - 20090908 - Erection of operational deployment base and 15m
communications mast; land adjacent Clippons Rond Yarmouth Road for
Norfolk Constabulary
MINOR DEVELOPMENT - Target Date :11 Nov 2009
Case Officer :Mr Thompson/Mr Took
(Full Planning Permission)
CONSTRAINTS
Countryside Policy Area
THE APPLICATION
The proposal involves the construction of a single-storey building to serve as a Police
Operational Deployment base (ODB). The ODB will function as a joint facility for both
the Police Service and the Ambulance Service and will be a replacement of the
current Police Station located close by, on the opposite of Yarmouth Road.
The site has an area of approximately 0.224ha with a road frontage of 40m and
depth of 59m. The building itself would have a gross floor area of approximately
209sq.m.
A new vehicle access would be provided onto Yarmouth Road and it is not
anticipated that any vehicle larger than an ambulance will be required to access the
site.
Three visitor parking spaces and a response vehicle parking space are proposed to
the front of the site and further parking for sixteen operational vehicles and a
washdown bay would be located to the rear, including cycle and general store
buildings.
The application also includes a 15m communications mast located in the northeastern corner of the site.
Development Control Committee (East)
17
26 November 2009
REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE
At the request of Councillor Barran having regard to the following planning issue:
Whether the development of site outside the settlement boundary is justifiable.
TOWN COUNCIL
Recommend refusal on the following grounds:
1. The site is outside the Core Strategy Area.
2. Not suitable for development.
3. Concern re pedestrian safety.
4. Main school route.
5. Light pollution to nearby residents.
CONSULTATIONS
County Council (Highways) - No objections subject to access, visibility and parking
conditions.
Planning Policy Manager - This site is located within the Countryside policy area
adjacent to Stalham which is designated as a Secondary Settlement in the adopted
Core Strategy. The vision for Stalham included within the Core Strategy aims to
achieve a stronger role for the town as a local service centre providing jobs, shops,
services and community facilities. The provision of a new police station (operational
base) is consistent with this vision.
Policy SS 2 of the Core Strategy introduces a general presumption against new build
development in the Countryside but indicates that a number of exceptions will be
applied including the provision of 'community services and facilities'. Such proposals
are also supported by Policy CT 3.
The application site comprises a small part of a larger area of agricultural land which
is identified as a proposed location for a mixed use development in the Draft Site
Specific Proposals Development Plan. This Plan has yet to be examined and
adopted and consequently is not yet a formal part of the Development Plan. The
development proposed is in any event consistent with the proposed allocation which
is envisaged to provide opportunities for housing, community, employment uses and
open spaces. The location of the application site will not compromise such proposals.
In broad land use policy terms there are therefore no substantive grounds to object to
the proposal.
Sustainability Co-ordinator - Considers the application complies with Policy EN 6
subject to condition.
HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS
It is considered that the proposed development may raise issues relevant to
Article 8 : The right to respect for private and family life, and
Article 1 of The First Protocol: The right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions.
Having considered the likely impact on an individual's Human Rights, and the general
interest of the public, approval of this application as recommended is considered to
be justified, proportionate and in accordance with planning law.
CRIME AND DISORDER ACT 1998 - SECTION 17
The application raises no significant crime and disorder issues.

POLICIES
North Norfolk Core Strategy (Adopted September 2008):
Policy SS2: Development in the Countryside (prevents general development in the
countryside with specific exceptions).
Policy EN 4: Design (specifies criteria that proposals should have regard to, including
the North Norfolk Design Guide and sustainable construction).
Policy CT 3: Provision and retention of local facilities and services (specifies criteria
for new facilities and prevents loss of existing other than in exceptional
circumstances).
Policy CT 5: The transport impact of new development (specifies criteria to ensure
reduction of need to travel and promotion of sustainable forms of transport).
Policy CT 6: Parking provision (requires compliance with the Council's car parking
standards other than in exceptional circumstances).
Site Specific Proposals Draft Plan.
Site reference: ST01
MAIN ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION
1. Principle of the development in this location.
2. Design and appearance.
3. Residential amenities.
4. Landscape impact.
5. Highway safety.
APPRAISAL
The site is outside the settlement boundary and within an area designated as
Countryside, as identified on the Core Strategy Proposals Map for Stalham. It forms
part of a larger field and is at the western end of a row of houses located on the
northern side of Yarmouth Road. The development boundary for the town runs along
the opposite side of Yarmouth Road. Therefore whilst the site is within the
Countryside policy area, it is closely related to the built up area of Stalham.
Policy SS 2 (Development in the Countryside) - limits new development proposals to
those which require a rural location and is permissive towards community services
where there is a local need.
The proposed new ODB is to replace the small police base located close by on the
opposite side of Yarmouth Road. The agent has explained that the existing base is
no longer fit for purpose and the District Council has been aware for some time that a
new facility in the area is being actively sought. A possible site within the town centre
was dismissed as being too small with no potential to accommodate potential future
changes to policing in the area. Given these circumstances it is considered that the
proposed development is in accordance with Core Strategy Policy SS 2.
The site is also part of a larger area identified within the Site Specific proposals Draft
Plan (Policy ST 01). The policy includes approximately 9ha of land between the
proposed site and Ingham Road to the north allocated for a mixed use development
of residential, open space, employment and community's facilities. Members will note
the comments of the Planning Policy Manager in this respect.
The form and appearance of the building reflects other Police bases being developed
elsewhere in Norfolk and this proposed building's size and design is very similar to
the recently constructed ODB at Wells. This allows for easy recognition for both local
users and visitors from outside the area, and using the Cromer and Wells bases as a
comparison the design is considered acceptable in this location.
Development Control Committee (East)
19
26 November 2009
The site is in close proximity to the existing Police Station that is amidst residential
properties, with access onto Yarmouth Road. Therefore the proposal would not
introduce a significant change to the character of the area or on local residents'
amenities.
The Highway Authority is satisfied that the proposal would not raise highway safety
issues subject to the appropriate access construction specification, maintenance of
visibility splays and the parking areas being laid out prior to occupation.
The 15m communications antenna is require operationally to serve the Police force
and ambulance service. It is to be positioned at the furthest point on the site from the
nearest residential property (35m) and although it would be visible within the
surrounding area, bearing in mind its operational need, it is considered acceptable.
The submitted plan indicates a landscaped perimeter around the site and subject to
acceptable details this would assist in the development merging with the rural
surroundings.
In conclusion, it is considered that the proposal accords with Development Plan
policy.
RECOMMENDATION:Approve, subject to highway conditions,
specification, materials and landscaping details.

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE
At the request of Councillor Tillett having regard to the following planning issue:
Impact on neighbour's amenities.
PARISH COUNCIL
Object on the grounds of the extension having an overbearing appearance to the
neighbour. Concerns also expressed regarding Building Regulation Issues, in

20
26 November 2009
REPRESENTATIONS
Two letters of objection received from local residents on grounds of:
1. Retrospective application.
2. No footings/foundations, insulation or damp proof course.
3. Extension not keyed into main building.
4. Difficult to maintain due to close proximity to the boundary.
5. Surface water not into mains drainage.
6. 'Lights' issue.
7. Health and safety issue regarding entrance and exits.
HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS
It is considered that the proposed development may raise issues relevant to
Article 8 : The right to respect for private and family life, and
Article 1 of The First Protocol: The right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions.
Having considered the likely impact on an individual's Human Rights, and the general
interest of the public, approval of this application as recommended is considered to

CRIME AND DISORDER ACT 1998 - SECTION 17
The application raises no significant crime and disorder issues.
POLICIES
North Norfolk Core Strategy (Adopted September 2008):
Policy HO 8: House extensions and replacement dwellings in the Countryside
(specifies the limits for increases in size and impact on surrounding countryside).
Policy EN 1: Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Broads
(prevents developments which would be significantly detrimental to the areas and
their setting).
Policy EN 4: Design (specifies criteria that proposals should have regard to, including
the North Norfolk Design Guide and sustainable construction).
Policy EN 11: Coastal erosion (prevents development that would increase risk to life
or significantly increase risk to property and prevents proposals that are likely to
increase coastal erosion).
Policy SS2: Development in the Countryside (prevents general development in the
countryside with specific exceptions).
MAIN ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION
1. Design.
2. Impact on neighbour's amenities.
3. Impact on street scene.
APPRAISAL
The subject property is one of a number of detached bungalows situated on the
southern side of Mundesley Road at the eastern end of the village. Trimingham lies
within the Countryside policy area and the site is within the Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB) and the 100 year coastal erosion zone.
The extension has replaced a former garage along the side of the property. The
extension is set back 1.2m from the front of the property and measures 5.6m in
length and 3.2m in width. The proposed external finish of the extension is to be
painted render. Windows are white UPVc, to match the main bungalow. The
extension is a flat roof construction.
Development Control Committee (East)
21
26 November 2009
The extension is built close to the boundary fence with the neighbouring property, but
no visible part encroaches onto the neighbour's land.
The total height of the extension is 2.16m. The boundary fence is approximately 1.8m
in height, resulting in an approximately 30cm section being visible over the fence.
The neighbouring property has a mono pitch conservatory with windows
approximately 1.75m off the boundary. Whilst this distance is less than the minimum
distance in such circumstances normally recommended in the North Norfolk District
Council Design Guide, the mitigating circumstance in this case is the fact that these
windows already face the boundary fence. Consequently it is considered that the
additional impact of the extension on the neighbour's amenity is not significant.
In terms of design the visual impact of this modest sized extension is minimal on the
property itself and on the wider street scene. Hence it is considered to comply with
Core Strategy Policies EN 1, EN 4 and HO 8.
Whilst the property lies within the 100 year coastal erosion zone, the proposal does
not significantly increase risks to life or property.
In conclusion it is considered that the extension complies with the objectives of
Development Plan policy and is therefore recommended for approval.
RECOMMENDATION:Approve subject to a materials condition.
