The substantial bulk and form of the proposed dwelling is located on the section of land outside of the defined ‘Local Green Space’.”

“As highlighted above, the scheme in discussion with the Councils Design and Conservation Officer has been revised insofar as the overall scale of the dwelling has now been reduced. It is considered that the scheme now offers an effective means of understanding its relationships with its surroundings. The Design Officer stated:”

“Site is part of ‘Designated Green Space’ in the Diss and District Neighbourhood Plan. • Unacceptable scale of development in Conservation Area. • Vehicle access and parking are inadequate • Area designated where “new buildings are inappropriate development” • Lack of access to private green space for existing development.”
