'Derelict' pub care home plans approved
GooglePlans to convert a former pub into a care home have been approved.
Baycrest Care Ltd applied to East Riding of Yorkshire Council to turn The Windsor in Bridlington into a 23-bed residential facility.
The building, on Windsor Crescent, has been empty since the pub and B&B closed in 2022.
As well as the change of use, the application includes a new conservatory and lift for people with restricted, or no mobility.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, documents submitted to the council described the state of the building as being in a "derelict" condition, with severe damp and mould, fallen ceilings and damaged windows.
The building had also become a target for vandalism, squatting and fly-tipping, councillors heard.
Baycrest Care Ltd's application said there was "an acute shortage of high-quality residential care accommodation within Bridlington".
The plans were approved by the authority's planning committee last Tuesday.
