The 97-year-old building was sold by the East Lindsey District Council last year, with an asking price of £600,000.
The majority of existing offices would be converted into a mix of bedrooms, with five on the lower ground floor, 16 on the upper ground floor, 20 on the first and 16 on the second floor. “The less than substantial harm caused to the listed building would not outweigh the significant benefits to the tourism industry and local economy.”The town hall was constructed in 1926 to the design of William Henry Ansell, built with red brick and stone dressings, and an extension from the second half of the 20th century adjoins the west side of the west pavilion.
Documents submitted to the council said there would be no external alterations to the building and the internal layout already “lends itself to the proposal”.
