Wright Leonard has applied to West Lindsey District Council to convert the former Lea Road School into 28 new units.
The developer said the principle elevation, fenestration and window styles will remain the same or close to the existing style, while a number of proposed roof terraces included in the plans will be hidden from street view.
“Our scheme is intended to bring life back into this run down and disused building, and provide affordable, quality spaces to live in the town of Gainsborough, while taking care to ensure the originality of the architecture remains,” said documents submitted to the authority.
The school was originally opened in 1906 and closed in the early 1990s. It was later used as a business centre.
