Plans have been announced to transform historic grade two listed buildings within Brigg town centre into living accommodation.
They include what is described as a former abattoir, once allied to Mundey's butchery business in the nearby Market Place.
The buildings are to the rear of the Market Place near the Lord Nelson pub & restaurant's beer garden and close to the row of new town houses beside the Angel's rear car park.
Planning permission and listed building consent are being sought to convert the former abattoir "lean-to" and outbuildings to provide two one-bedroom residential studio flats, including partial demolition of an unstable listed building to reinstate.
Information supplied in support of the application describes the former abattoir and outbuildings as empty "although the adjoining properties have been maintained, retaining the characteristics of the street scene."
The intention is to provide living accommodation to the rear of the applicant's property, Gracie’s Café.
Car parking provision is indicated on the site for three vehicles.
North Lincolnshire Council is now considering the application, and Brigg Town Council will be consulted as part of the process.
A public consultation period has been established and will end on April 21, 2022.
North Lincolnshire Council will announce its decision at some future date.
There is considerable demand for living accommodation in Brigg, particularly within the town centre with its range of amenities.
