Plans for a housing development in a Norfolk town look set to go ahead, despite concerns the project is "architecturally mismatched”. 

Developers want to build a two-bed home on Denmark Street, Diss, next to the town's former Conservative Club. 

The former club building, called Grasmere, is in the process of being converted into five apartments, following a previous application. 

Ahead of a planning meeting to discuss the latest scheme, nine neighbours and Diss Town Council wrote to South Norfolk Council, calling for it to the rejected.

Locals have argued the scheme is an overdevelopment of the site and not appropriate for the location. 

One said: “It adds yet more traffic disruption to a road already ill-equipped to deal with cars entering and leaving properties. 

“The extension is architecturally mismatched with the existing plan, creating an unsightly flat roofed eyesore more akin to a sprawling office complex.” 

But recommending the scheme for approval, planning officers said: “The site is in a sustainable location, the dwelling relates appropriately and appearance and scale to the existing building at Grasmere, there will be acceptable impacts on the character and appearance of the area.”
