THE former police station in Immingham has been converted to offices and a contractors' storage yard.
The pleasing red brick two-storey building has sash windows and a hipped roof.
Projecting brick quoins and chimneys form a key part of the character of this locally-listed building.
To the western side, the building has a single storey wing with attractive brick bay.
An attached single storey brick wing also exists to the south east of the main building, constructed in the same brick but with simpler pitched roof.
A large car park and access exists to the west of the building includes a range of six prefabricated concrete garages.
The yard and station is surrounded to the front by attractive brick walls and railings.
The site is now home to ProGen Services Ltd which specialise as industrial-scale mechanical and electrical work.
However, it is understood there is no on-site fabrication or assembly of parts.
Externally, the property has not changed and, internally, only a small number of walls have been remove to create larger meeting spaces.
The refurbishments were carried out without the benefit of planning consent, but a retrospective application has this week been approved by North East Lincolnshire Council.
Says senior planning case officer Jonathan Cadd: "This use has brought a locally-listed building back into operation on a site where it is expected to support Immingham without harm to the residential amenities of occupiers of adjoining houses."
