A former pub is set to undergo a change of use and be developed into a block of flats.
The disused Monks Abbey pub in Lincoln has obtained planning permission to be transformed into four flats, which will then be let out to students when construction is complete, the Lincolnshire Echo reports.
Andrew Wilding, planning agent for the site, said in his application that a decline in trade made it difficult to find an alternative use for the building.
"It is big enough to make a generous family home, but the area is too noisy and full of traffic fumes," he pointed out.
"The lack of reasonable car parking precludes the use as offices, while the present economic difficulties make it unlikely anyone would want the premises for retail."
He said this particular area of Lincoln appears to be flourishing, so the building could do well to contain two four-bedroom flats, one three-bed apartment and a two-bed flat.

Change of Use News: Pub to be redeveloped into supermarket
An award-winning pub will be subject to a change of use if plans for a new supermarket go ahead.
The Wimborne-based Royal Oak in Dorset is located on land that has been assigned for redevelopment in a bid to regenerate the area, the BBC reported.
Hill Richmond, the landowner, told the news provider: "The area has been earmarked by Bournemouth council for a supermarket and convenience shops, with an additional 150 car parking spaces."
Martin Burke, director of the company, said: "We are sorry that the pub land is needed to carry out the essential highways improvements for this redevelopment, but we hope that our scheme will help regenerate the Kinson area for the benefit of local people, who will not have to travel further afield for their weekly shop."
The Royal Oak has been named winter pub of the season by the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale and is nominated for the Pub of the Year Award.
