In recent years the PVC replacement of the ground floor windows has been controversial and the original application was refused.

At the time management told Lincolnshire World their replacement was necessary because diners were having to wear their coats while eating.

However, the ELDC planning officer stated: “Given the sheer number of windows on this public facing facade, any significant changes to these features immediately impacts its character and appearance.
