When granting permission, the council imposed a condition that the building shall be soundproofed to an agreed level.

The facility is known as Section 18.

BONBY: An application from Wilson Farms for outline permission to erect a 500 cow dairy unit, with a range of buildings, and a slurry/dirty water store on land near Hall Farm, Middlegate Lane, was deferred and a decision will now be made at a future meeting. This scheme is considered by the council to be of significant public interest.

“Having looked at the website for Section 18 I have to say the gym looks very good,not so sure about the website homepage though, Skeletons with guns, I don't understand what relevance that has to a gym!?! Having said that there is obviously a demand for the gym as it is well frequented. Some of the members are teenagers who often get bad press for hanging about on the streets causing trouble but all credit to the teenage members who have chosen to keep fit instead. I only have one question, Is this a male only gym? I didn't see any female members on the website and it also said "The lads that come here......" I live 2 minutes walk from the gym and didn't even know it was there until I stumbled across this article. Scunthorpe, especially Crosby, needs all the new businesses we can get so I say good luck and keep up the good work Section 18.”
