A date has now been revealed for deciding the future use of historic Brigg town centre pub the Nelthorpe Arms.
In April, applications were submitted seeking planning permission and listed building consent to change the use of the Bridge Street building into three dwellings.
The pub closed in late May after a farewell party night hosted by the tenant at the end of his lease.
Since then, people interested in these applications have been awaiting decisions from North Lincolnshire Council, the local planning authority.
However, during the July meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee held on Monday this week, it was revealed that the Nelthorpe Arms applications will be considered on Wednesday, August 1 at the next meeting of North Lincolnshire Council's Planning Committee.
This meeting will take place at Scunthorpe Civic Centre, off Ashby Road, starting at 2pm, and is open to interested members of the public.
A number of letters of objection to the proposed change of use have been sent to North Lincolnshire Council by members of the public.
Options open to elected councillors from across the district who make up the planning committee include granting permission, refusing the applications or holding a site meeting prior to reaching decisions at a later date.
The owners of the Nelthorpe Arms say that it is no longer viable as a pub and stress they have put forward an option to secure future use of this building within the Brigg Conservation Area.
