Plans to create two-storey holiday let just minutes from Hornsea Mere

Plans from a Doncaster-based developer would see a former insurers office in converted into a two-storey holiday let minutes from Hornsea Mere.

Plans for the Hornsea holiday let would convert what is currently the offices of Hedon Insurance, which is located on the corner of Southgate and Football Green. The ground floor would be converted into a self-contained holiday apartment featuring an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and double bedroom. It would also have its own private garden.

Plans stated the building, within the Hornsea Conservation Area, had been altered over the years and parts of it would be in need of redecoration. They added the applicant, who also owns the first floor apartment in the building, would fit new external insulation to the property and put new render on the outside walls. They also plan to remove the shop front windows of the office and fit two new ones more fitting to the apartment.

French doors would be fitted at the back of the property to give the ground floor apartment access to the rear garden.

Plans stated: “The proposed change of use to residential will ensure that the building is occupied and maintained in a good condition for years to come. The proposed new windows, doors and render finish will significantly improve the energy performance of the property and will not detract from the character of the existing building.”
