A new restaurant is proposed at a former pub in Scunthorpe.
A planning application has been made to convert 2 Doncaster Road into a restaurant. It was previously the home of Boston Brothers, and before that, Peaky Blinder.
The planned name of the new restaurant is not disclosed. But a planning document confirms it would specialise in Turkish cuisine.
Read on below for a round-up of some of the more recent planning developments in North Lincolnshire Council area. This includes works to Barton-upon-Humber‘s Assembly Rooms.
New Turkish Restaurant
The new restaurant would accommodate up to 80 diners across the ground and first floor of the former pub. It is estimated it will employ approximately 16 full-time jobs.
Its indicative opening hours are 11am to 1am, Monday to Sunday. Scunthorpe-based Great Life Homes Ltd is the applicant. The 306 sq m building was sold on after Boston Brothers closed.
Barton Assembly Rooms
Barton Town Council has applied to replace the 11 Victorian-era windows of the town’s Assembly Rooms, which are its administrative home. The Grade II-listed building dates back to 1843, when it was built as Temperance Hall, at a cost of £700.
The windows, boarded up in the autumn, would be replaced with sliding shash Fineo Vacuum system windows. An application document states it will protect the building’s fabric and “reduces the future maintenance whilst giving a life span of 50 years to the joinery work”.
The works would follow on from a recent installation of a lift at the Assembly Rooms. This was paid for through a combination of Town Council (£7,000) and North Lincolnshire Council community funding (£26,954), according to The Bartonian.

A Town Council spokesperson told Grimsby Live: “The Assembly Rooms, Queen Street in Barton Upon Humber is owned by Barton Upon Humber Town Council. The Town Council are in the process of renovating, repairing and upgrading the building to its former glory.” A feasibility study has been commissioned, and was funded by the Town Council and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) – a government replacement for former EU membership cash.
“The Town Council are in the process of replacing all the windows,” the spokesperson said. This includes not only the 11 windows in the planning application, but also the replacement already of casement windows. “The total cost for the windows project is just over £76k full funded by the Town Council.”
On the lift’s installation, the spokesperson added: “The new lift and the new windows have already made a huge difference to the groups who use the building.”
Business storage units finally approved
Finally, 21 business storage units proposed on land north of Warren Road, Scunthorpe, have finally been approved. It has taken almost three years since the application’s original submission for it to get the go-ahead.
The replacement of rough grassland habitat with the storage units and associated infrastructure has been a sticking point. Outline permission for Mercury Construction’s proposal came only after a S106 agreement was confirmed to secure replacement habitat off-site. Land on the south side of Gunthorpe Road in the Isle of Axholme will be turned into modified grassland and a lake.
