Planning permission to change the use of 50 Wrawby Street, Brigg, from a retail shop to a tattoo and piercing studio is being sought from North Lincolnshire Council.
Other applications going through the system as present include:
4 Garden Cottages, Garden Street, permission to erect a single storey extension.
Comely Bank, Bigby Road, notice of intention of crown reduction to Lawson Cypress situated in a Conservation Area.
Land to the rear of 6 Albert Street, retain siting of steel container for storage on a temporary basis.
Tattoo and piercing - not the sort of specialist shop that Brigg's central shopping area, I believe, really needs.
ReplyDeleteBrigg, over the years, has been very successful in attracting a variety of connoiseur outlets. The town has maintained its important image as a traditional market town, while meaningfully encouraging a quality range of gourmet retailers.
Will a tattoo parlour in a main shopping thoroughfare add prestige to Brigg's image?
Personally, I think not - a dilettante is inappropriate and, if approved,could negatively affect the perception and actuality of Brigg as a unique and quality shopping centre.
Essentially, it's out of character to the retail ambience that Brigg wishes to promote for its main street shops.
