Whittons Gardens Cafe, Caskgate Street, Gainsborough, East Midlands, DN21 2DL

The subject property occupies a prominent position on the periphery of the retail zone on the western edge of Gainsborough town centre.

Set within Whitton Gardens, a public open space marking the start of the Riverside Walk, the proposed café currently under refurbishment provides ample opportunity to benefit from passing footfall.


The subject property is a former public convenience undergoing full refurbishment to accommodate a café and ancillary facilities. The building itself comprises a single storey, brick constructed octagonal building set within a public pay and display car park (Whitton Gardens). West Lindsey District Council (WLDC) intend to fit out the premises with all services, floor covering and W/C facilities.

There is additional outdoor space surrounding the building, it would be beneficial to the application if prospective tenants had an interest in utilising the space for outdoor dining.


Year-round opening of the premises is a requirement of potential occupiers. There is also a requirement for the tenant to accommodate a visual display within the premises, stocking tourism brochures (provided by the landlord).

We understand that the property benefits from planning consent for Use Class E (commercial, business and services use) under the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order as amended.

(Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with West Lindsey District Council).
