Local residents are happy with a Brigg town centre planning application, according to information submitted by the applicant to North Lincolnshire Council.The former Prep School on Bigby Street - now known as The Retreat - is the subject of a change of use application to alter the whole building to residential.
But it appears that doesn't mean the main ex-Prep School building, seen here.
An explanatory note on the application says: "The building is situated to the rear of Brigg Preparatory School – behind a building known as Ancholme Mews."
Demeter House Ltd adds: "The building is current a first floor flat and classroom space on the ground floor. We would like to apply for the whole building to become residential as it was originally a house before the owners of Brigg Preparatory bought it," .
For so long a feature of the town, Brigg Prep School closed in rather controversial circumstances, following which the site was put up for sale.
There is a Demeter House School in Scunthorpe.
True....before the Prep School, the house was a vicarage.
ReplyDeleteDoes the application mean the school will become a boarding school for SEN children?
The application refers to a building called. The Retreat, which lies to the rear of the main school building.
