LINCOLN SHOPS
Scheme Not Approved A decision of the Ellesmere | County Council to allow' Messrs R. A. and L. J. Gallagher, owners of the Lincoln Hotel and adjacent land on the north side of Market Square, Lincoln, to build a grocery shop and a butchery
on the vacant land has been overruled by the Special Town and Country Planning Appeal Board. In a reserved decision to an appeal by Johnstone’s Grocery, Ltd, add G. E. Watkins, heard on June 25, the board said that to allow land set aside for a hotel or hotel' development to be used for any other purpose constituted a detraction from the amenities of the neighbourhood. “Little, if any, benefit will accrue to the public welfare by granting the application, to make up for the detraction from amenities, and the bad planning that would result from granting the application," the board said.
The board found that the proposed scheme would prevent persons entering or leaving the hotel car park by way of Kildare Street and would deprive some of the tenants of flats at the rear of the vacant land of their view of Market Place.
