PROPERTY entrepreneur Kashor Pungi has been given the planning go-ahead to create a three-storey apartment block on Cleethorpes seafront.
The building at the junction of North Promenade and Sea Road - almost opposite the pier - is currently a bar and nightclub.
But Mr Pungi wants to redevelop the site to provide nine apartments - some to be let long-term to residents and others to be let short-term to holiday visitors.
There would also be a kiosk-type shop on the ground floor.
A statement from the agents says: "The Sea Road Apartments development is designed to address the pressing need for affordable housing in Cleethorpes while also accommodating the growing demand for short-term rentals, particularly from tourists.
"The intention is to create a balanced residential community that supports both local residents and seasonal visitors such as Airbnb.
"By allowing short-term rentals, we can contribute to the local economy by attracting tourists who will support local businesses and services.
"This model provides flexibility for property owners and can help offset costs for residents during off-peak seasons, ensuring that housing remains financially viable."
The statement adds: "We will work closely with local authorities to establish guidelines for short-term rentals, ensuring they are integrated into the community without disrupting the residential environment."
North East Lincolnshire Council's planning department confirmed today, Friday, that the project had been approved.
Most commentators believe the venture will enhance this part of Cleethorpes and might even provide the springboard for regenerating North Promenade - a stretch of the seafront which has largely been neglected in recent times.
