A North Lincolnshire tourist attraction has applied to build a gymnasium, swimming pool and treatment rooms.
Lindholme Lakes Country Park, between Epworth and Sandtoft, is best known for its holiday lodges to rent and fishing. But it has applied to triple in size an existing retail building.
This extension will include not only a gymnasium, but also a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and treatment rooms. It is among recent planning applications received by North Lincolnshire Council.

Other submissions in recent weeks include bringing back into use a shop empty for four years in Barton-upon-Humber, and plans for a 15-bed House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in East Halton. Read on below to find out more.
New Barton Turkish takeaway
A shop front vacant since 2019 could be brought back into use. There are proposals for 31 Fleetgate in Barton, to be changed to a takeaway.
There would be internal alterations and an extractor fan installed. The applicant’s agent is a member of the National Association of Turkish Restaurants, Takeaways and Supermarkets (NARTS).
It hopes to be open from 10am to 11pm, every day of the week. If approved, the takeaway is expected to employ four people full-time, and four part-time.

Elsewhere in Barton, a new application has been made three three-bed homes on land adjacent to Bank House, Holydyke, with five car park spaces. Permission was granted in 2018 to convert the ground floor of the former HSBC bank into two apartments, and for three adjacent town houses.
This new submission revives the three town houses plan, but keeps Bank House for commercial use. The homes’ proposed design has been shaped by being within the town’s conservation area.
Lindholme Lakes gymnasium
“This large site is a commercial fishery of significant proportions, world famous and attracting thousands of visitors every year,” state Mark Simmonds Planning Services, in the application document for Lindholme Lakes. The extension of the existing retail building will be red-bricked, with a terracotta slate roof, and create a U-shaped layout.
As well as the gymnasium, sauna, jacuzzi and 10 by 8m wide pool, there will be changing rooms and a reception area. Mark Simmonds Planning call it “a modest expansion which will meet the growing demands on this site”. It is added that the site has grown steadily and each expansion carefully consider visual and ecological impacts, as well as viability.

Hotel into HMO
Plans to turn a hotel into an HMO in a North Lincolnshire village have raised concerns from some residents.
Amethyst Hotel in Townside, East Halton, would be changed to a 15 bed HMO, essentially based on the existing layout. Paymán Holdings Ltd are the applicants.
A number of villagers have objected since it became publicly viewable. Concern had predominantly centred around the individuals who would live in the HMO, and transport infrastructure. “East Halton already has accommodation for contract workers and 15 more places for a notoriously transient population in HMOs would add a great deal of instability in a small village,” writes one objector.
“I don’t think a little village is a suitable place, and fear it will devalue our house, we don’t have the facilities to accommodate,” a new villager comments, who references the lack of bus service.
