| External changes planned outside bank's Victoria Street premises |
HSBC Bank has warned North East Lincolnshire planners that they must secure "advance approval" if they want to carry out a site visit of its premises on Victoria Street, Grimsby.
The bank is currently applying for external alterations and is aware that planners might want to view the premises before making their decision.
Their message states: "Please note that advance approval is required before a site visit - even if the visit is only to the outside of the branch.
"Due to heightened awareness of criminality around bank branches, staff will spot and report incidents of suspicious activity to the local constabulary.
"To avoid any undue interaction with the police please call us to arrange a visit.
"Three working days’ notice is required to ensure the visit can be arranged with all internal parties."
The alterations sought by the bank include
* Installation of a replacement cash machine
* Replacement signage
* Installation of a new external Panasonic CCTV camera
HSBC says the appearance of the property will "not be negatively affected by this application".
It is likely that the application will be determined later this summer by a single planning case officer without the need for consideration by the council's planning committee - or a site visit.
