Plans have been submitted to turn a former Scunthorpe dental practice into an 11 bedroom hotel.
Keystone Architecture have lodged the proposals for the building on Wells Street in an effort to provide affordable guest accommodation in the area.
The application seeks permission to change the use of the former practice to provide bedrooms and en-suite space.
A total of 11 bedrooms would be created along with seven en-suites, a kitchen, living area and a shared bathroom on the second floor.
It comes as North Lincolnshire Council last year carried out a study to see if more hotel accommodation was required in the region.
The applicant said that the plan would help to bring the derelict building into good use and support local shops as well as having a positive effect on the wider area.
In a design and access statement, they added that the hotel will also improve the street scene in the Crosby area.
It said: “The proposals will improve the existing street scene as the proposed works will involve the redevelopment of a presently vacant property.
“It will have a positive impact on the vicinity and provide additional support to the local amenities, whilst providing much needed guest accommodation in the area.”

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
