| Willys as it is now with the newly-installed canopy (and one of the signs removed) |
PASSERS-BY can now decide for themselves whether the new canopy outside Willys pub and brewery has been detriment to the look of the premises.
The installation was approved by North East Lincolnshire Council planners despite the misgiving of the authority's heritage officer, Louise Jennings, who had commented: "The permanent canopy is more problematic.
"At the moment, there is a small shelter attached to the bar, this does not contribute positively to the building and does obscure slightly the 'legibility' of the first floor.
"To create the proposed type of structure, no matter how well done, will obscure the jettied nature of the first floor which, arguably, is the most important element of a Tudor revival building."
Ms Jennings said she would have preferred a retractable canopy.
