NEW RESTAURANT PLANNED FOR BRIGG

A new restaurant is planned for Brigg - above the existing Scalinis fish and chip shop.
This is within Conservation Area and affects a listed building at 79 Wrawby Street.
The necessary requests for planning permission and listed building consent have been lodged with North Lincolnshire Council.
Mr and Mrs Stavros Mappouras are seeking consent for internal alterations to form a first floor restaurant, including the bricking up and relocation of an existing doorway to the rear and the insertion of a new window in the gable end.
Agents for the applicants have told planners: "Mr. And Mrs. Mappouras currently own the building which has for many years provided quality fish and chips to the people of Brigg.
"The first floor flat is currently vacant and Mr. And Mrs. Mappouras are keen to expand their business and wish to provide an additional service to their customers by creating a restaurant facility at first floor level.
"This will not only serve their existing customers but it is hoped will attract new ones not only to this facility but also to Brigg.
The development has been designed so that it is in keeping with the character and appearance of the surrounding area."
The application suggests a couple of new jobs will be created, if the scheme is approved.
The first public airing of this proposed development came last night (Monday) at a meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning and Environment Committee in the Angel Suite.
However, as the application had only recently been lodged with North Lincolnshire planners, the Town Council - which must be consulted on applications within Brigg - deferred discussions until its next meeting.
North Lincolnshire planners are accepting comments on this application up to November 15.
Scalinis promotes itself as award winning; it also displays the coveted 5 stars for hygiene - the maximum that can be given by North Lincolnshire Council hygiene staff in the so-called Scores on the Doors system.
