INSPECTOR REJECTS APPEAL

A Government Inspector has declined to give the go-ahead for two homes to be built on a plot adjacent to 5a Princes Street, Brigg, the conclusion we can draw being that North Lincolnshire Council was correct in refusing to grant planning permission.
Jon Arnold, of Auckley, Doncaster, exercised his right to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate after his application was rejected. But he was unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, Brigg Town Council is to make its views known to North Lincolnshire planners about an application to erect a single-storey rear extension at 8 Horstead Avenue. Town councillors are to express concerns about the possible detrimental impact on neighbouring properties due to loss of light. North Lincolnshire Council will rule on the application.

I like the way one can see the original outline of the house's gable end.

But the question is WHY? Was the design unsuitable? Where the houses intrusive, or was the site otherwise unsuitable?

There are brown field sites about Brigg...there's another one, for example down Cross St. But NLC seems to be, allegedly, rejecting plans to develop these sites. But leaving these sites as they are and with the shortage of affordable housing, doesn't really improve the appearance of some side streets, or helps the young, impoverished house-hunter.

I wonder what will happen to the old medical centre site between Prince's St and Bigby Road?
