    London-based Cielo Realty Ltd want to build the One Cleethorpes development on Grant Street in the town.

    Each block would be up to 13 storeys high and include commercial space and parking.

    But local residents say the plans are not in keeping with the town's heritage.

    Quote Message

    The main impact is visible, being totally out of character and scale with the rest of the area. All would be dwarfed by the buildings and the skyline from any direction will be changed radically and impact the setting of the historic area.

    Brian Sherrif, Local resident

    The developer says it's "acutely" aware that the development would be in a sensitive area.

    Planners at North East Lincolnshire Council will discuss the proposals on Wednesday 5 December.
