The historic Nelthorpe Arms pub, in Brigg town centre, CAN be turned into housing.
North Lincolnshire Council's planning committee, holding its July meeting at Scunthorpe Civic Centre, granted permissIon for change of use and gave the required listed building consent.
This decision means the pub building, within the conservation area on Bridge Street, can now be turned into three dwellings.
The committee considered a very detailed report about the application and accepted a planning officer's recommendation to grant permission.
A submission made with the application by owners Harriton Beracha Ltd said the Nelthorpe Arms was no longer viable as a pub and suggested conversion to housing, with parking nearby.
Many objections from members of the public were notified to planners, a good number suggesting that the town should not be allowed to lose another pub.
The grade two listed Nelthorpe Arms served its last pints on Sunday, May 27 as the tenant's lease came to an end.
A very well-attended 'final night' party was held. Read more here...
So having seen new houses take the place of the Brocklesby Ox and Ancholme pubs in recent years, Brigg will now be losing another hostelry.
However, in the case of the Nelthorpe Arms, there will be internal conversion rather than demolition and new build.
Removal of the Nelthorpe Arms from the stock, leaves the town centre with the following nine licensed premises today:
- Yarborough Hunt and White Hart, Bridge Street
- Woolpack and Lord Nelson, Market Place
- Black Bull, Britannia and White Horse (Wetherspoon's), Wrawby Street
- Dying Gladiator and The Exchange, Bigby Street.
- Plus the Servicemen's Club, Coney Court

It must have something to do with market towns - I remember my father telling me that there was more pubs in Louth than weeks in a year though this article says only 52! https://www.louthleader.co.uk/lifestyle/19-09-07-louth-once-claimed-to-have-52-pubs-one-for-every-week-of-the-year-1-1007152
Not quite Nige...included in 'licensed premises are the Serviceman's Club (or is it Servicemen's Club...it displays both?)...Brigg Town FC club and various restaurants/cafes and shops.
Now for a bit of beer history...beer was a lot stronger 100 years ago.
During WW1, beer strength was reduced owing to the practical reason of reduced sugar imports. Ireland was exempt this restriction, which may go some way to explain the popularity of Guinness.
In the trenches, alchohol was banned, although officers were allowed to used heroin and similar drugs, often arriving as part of the consignment of one of those Fortnum and Mason's food hamper.
The hampers often contained slippers!
