Minor changes are being proposed at a small housing development at what was John Draper's joinery workshop, between the Lord Nelson and adjoining the Angel car park, Brigg. The go-ahead was given by North Lincolnshire planners some time ago, but now a change in the roof pitch angle is being sought. That's not very interesting, but this development, some time ago, alerted Brigg Blog to a rather strange requirement of the planning system: The welfare of bats.
Hidden away in the supporting documentation was the requirement for a survey showing bat activity in the area, plus the need for bat (roosting) boxes. Since then we've noticed bats' well-being taken into consideration on other planning applications in the district.
