Planning
In the past the property has been used for the benefit of Scouts and Guides as a meeting hall. In the agent’s opinion, it is likely that the local planning authority would support the change of use to another community, leisure or employment use. Residential properties are in the locality and the building lies within close proximity of the Listed Church. The site is within a Flood Zone 3A as designated by the Environment Agency. Prospective purchasers are responsible for satisfying themselves that their intended use will be supported by East Lindsey District Council.
