Plans to extend well-known pub in Great Glen are refused
Plans to extend a well-known pub Great Glen have been turned down.
Applicant Mr C Kazazi submitted the extension plans to Harborough District Council (HDC) for the Italian Greyhound pub, on London Road.
Planning documents reveal Mr Kazazi wished to make alterations to the rear of the pub which is currently used as an outside spill-over area.
Plans included a timber-framed enclosed building, complete with heating, lighting and sound equipment installed, being built over the space.
However, in making their decision to refuse the application on Friday, June 19, officers at HDC said the development “represented poor design which clashed with the surrounding area”.
They said the development would “spoil the experience of using the public footpath”, and the applicant had “not provided proof the project would not ruin the daily lives of local residents”.
There were three objections to the application, with noise and disturbance being a common theme.
