Horror at 'hideous' modernist replacement for fire ravaged pub as new design is compared to a prison, a power station, and even a radiator

Plans to replace a fire-ravaged pub with a 'hideous' modernist structure have been approved - leaving locals horrified. Plans to rebuild a historic beachside pub which burned down have been approved despite locals branding the design a 'monstrosity' which looks like it a 'radiator' and a ' nuclear power station'. Pictured: The plans Osborne View - named after the residential home of Queen Victoria - was turned to ash when the building became engulfed by 10ft flames in February of last year The pub was famous for its garden and outside terrace with sea views The building blueprint's were met with heavy criticism from locals who said it was 'possibly the ugliest design ever seen' and the 'most hideous edifice' It is also believed that members of the armed forces used to attend meetings in the public house during World War 2 and some of their boats were stored underneath. Objecting on the Fareham Borough Council portal, one neighbour wrote: 'The design proposed looks nothing like the old friend we lost and more like a public building or flash persons modern home. Recommending the plans for approval, an officer from Fareham Borough Council wrote: 'The proposed replacement pub is considered to be of high quality design and would not result in an unacceptable adverse impact upon neighbouring properties and therefore would comply with national and local plan policies.'
