Agenda item

The Committee gave consideration to the final application on the agenda, number 00839, Silver Street, Gainsborough, seeking to convert the first floor to form two flats, alongside associated changes to the building, including the installation of an awning to the front elevation. The application was introduced by the Officer, who gave a short presentation with reference to photographs and a site plan. It was explained that the application did not include the conversion of the ground floor of the building into a medical centre, unlike application number 147958, which was considered at Planning Committee on 14 August 2024.  Members were informed of an update, it was explained that Gainsborough Town Council was in support of the application, though raised concern over a lack of parking. 

The Chairman confirmed that there were no speakers and welcomed comments from the Committee.

Members discussed the application and recalled reviewing it previously. The Committee was pleased to see the building being repurposed in the interests of regenerating the town centre.  

A question was raised over allocated parking spaces in relation to the property; the Officer responded that there would be no dedicated parking, though the site was well located for public transport services and council car parks.

Having been moved, seconded, and voted upon, it was unanimously agreed that planning permission be GRANTED, subject to the following conditions:
