A planning application has been submitted to demolish the existing units at 3-15 Osborne Street in Grimsby to clear the site ahead of the creation of the transport hub.

 

Approval was given in September last year for the scheme to create a Transport Hub on a 1.6acre site off Osborne Street in the town centre.

 

Since then, preliminary site surveys have been conducted to feed into the design of the first stage of the hub, which will be located on the Garden St car park site, accessed from Osborne St once the buildings have been demolished.

 

The units due for demolition were built in the 1970s, replacing housing at the time. Most of the existing buildings have been vacant for some years, with the Haven Centre relocating earlier this year.

 

The application also includes the proposed line for the hoardings to be put up to make a safe area for the demolition to be done. If approved, this will mean that the bus stop in the vicinity will be relocated further up Osborne / Bethlehem Street before the works start.

 

The aim of the Transport Hub scheme is to create a multi-functional transport hub for buses, cycles, and other users, which connects with the adjacent railway station, encouraging public transport use and supporting the wider Grimsby Town Centre regeneration ambitions.

 

Stage one of the transport hub will essentially be a large, flat area co-locating all the bus shelters together once again. Further money will be sought to create a hub building for stage two of the plans.

 

As part of the main demolition, the Contractor will be instructed to minimise any waste that goes to landfill, to salvage bricks, and to recycle or re-use steelwork and concrete where possible.

 

The planning application is available to view on the Planning Portal – visit www.nelincs.gov.uk, search for planning applications, and then use reference DM/0014/25/FUL.
