COUNCILLOR'S CONCERNS ABOUT TREES IN BRIGG

Too many trees in Brigg Conservation Area are being lopped "or got rid of" - according to Coun Ann Eardley.
She made her comments as Brigg Town Council considered a planning application relating to the felling of two laburnum trees at 49 Albert Street - within the Conservation Area.
Coun Ben Nobbs, chairing this part of the Planning and Environment Committee meeting, pointed out that the issue before councillors was not the number of trees in Brigg but a specific application.
Having heard about the condition of the trees at No 49, the committee decided not to object to the proposed felling.
A final decision will now be made by North Lincolnshire Council - the planning authority.
Brigg Town Council also raised no objections to plans for a single storey extension and alterations to existing dwelling at 7 Eastfield Road (amended application involving re-positioning of the west elevation of the extension).
North Lincolnshire Council will now have the final say on whether to grant permission.
