Plans to convert a disused Driffield church have been submitted to East Riding Council.
The former Bourne Methodist Church, in West Gate, was initially used as an industrial building or workshop before being converted into a place of worship in the 1930s, according to documents submitted to the council.
It is also said that the church was named after Hugh Bourne, who alongside William Clowes, founded Primitive Methodism, an offshoot of Wesleyan Methodism.
Planning documents submitted to the council claim that the interior of the single-storey red brick building “is of no architectural interest, being of simple finish and showing signs of damp, mould and lack of maintenance.”
The plans detail proposals to convert the building into a single dwelling, while adding a dormer extension. The plans also include the construction of vehicular access to the property, which will require a new drop kerb on the footpath, as well as a parking area and an electrical vehicle charging port.
Planning documents claim the proposed works “will both preserve and enhance the historic and architectural interests of the building as well as preserving the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and setting of the surrounding Listed Buildings.”
The future of the plans will now be determined by the council.
