PLANS to construct two flats on the site of a house destroyed by fire are likely to be turned down.
Planning chiefs have urged Chester-le-Street District Council's planning committee meeting on January 10 to reject the proposals for the two-bedroomed flats.
A report says the proposals for land to the south of 32 Albert Street in the town do not comply with planning rules.
The site, which formerly housed an end-terrace property, is grassed over. It is centrally placed within an area of traditional terraced housing.
Planning officers say the building would be "discordant with the character of the existing housing in the area and represent an over-development of the site"
