The planning application is to turn the former King William pub on Horncastle Road, Boston into a mosque and community centre.

The applicant, a private individual, said the appearance of the building will not be very different to how it appears now.

It is thought a number of Muslim doctors and other staff from the nearby Pilgrim Hospital could make use of it.

They currently have to travel more than an hour to a mosque in Grimsby.

The plans state the mosque is likely to be used by only a handful of people at anyone time,
