Plans to transform vacant upper-floor offices in Scunthorpe’s town centre into new housing have been cleared by North Lincolnshire Council. The scheme will create 26 self-contained one, two, and three-bedroom flats above the Ellko supermarket on High Street.
The approval confirms a shift from commercial to residential use across the first, second and third floors of the property. A noise assessment supported the application and the development will not function as an HMO.
No public consultation was required due to the type of planning request. The building, a prominent multi-storey structure on the street, will now form part of efforts to increase town centre living and reuse underutilised space.
