West Lindsey District Council has approved a new garage in one of its villages near Brigg.
The planning committee has granted permission for a replacement garage workshop/MOT testing centre at Cross Roads Garage, Thornton Road, South Kelsey.
Iman Zidan, of Zidan Motorsport, successfully applied for the go ahead.
South Kelsey Parish Council told West Lindsey planners that it gave "full support" to this application and stressed that the village needed a garage.
If this application was rejected, the parish council suggested, the applicant would have no alternative but to "look outside the area."
The replacement garage is expected to create one additional job - for an apprentice.
This application generated a great deal of interest, with many people and local businesses submitting comments to planners.
Planning permission is now being sought from North Lincolnshire Council to erect a single-storey rear extension at 1 Ashdown Close, Brigg. This close forms part of an established housing development off Bigby High Road. No decision has yet been made by the local authority.
In Grasby, planning permission is being requested to erect two dwellings on land off Wilmore Lane. West Lindsey Council is now considering this application.
