A planning appeal has been launched following a decision to refuse permission to build three new homes in the centre of Driffield.
The East Riding of Yorkshire Council turned down a proposal to build the homes on land west of 23 Middle Street South.
Now Miss Sally Dixon has lodged an appeal with the Government Planning Inspectorate.
The appeal will be decided on the basis of an exchange of written statements and by a site visit by an inspector appointed by the secretary of state.
The ERYC turned down the planning application becuse the site was in a restricted and constrained location adjoinging retail untits and flats and new apartments. It was considered by the council that Miss Dixon’s proposal would result in a cramped form of developmenmt and future residents would have restricted out look, creating an opporessive living environment.
The amenity space and living rooms would be dominated and overlooked by new apartments and as a result future living conditions would be below a reasonable standard.
