WILL AUTHORITIES BE A FAN OF THE BRIGG PLAN FOR OUR LITTLE BUTCHERY?



A well-known Brigg town centre takeaway is seeking official permission to make a small change at 76 Wrawby Street.
The Golden City is seeking planning permission and listed building consent to install an extraction flue.
In his application to North Lincolnshire Council, Cheung Yip says he wishes to erect a new extraction flue through the wall facing the Little Butchery.
This is the short and historic alleyway that links Wrawby Street and Bigby Street.
The building is grade two listed and within the Conservation Area.
The proposal is to move the existing flue to serve the relocated kitchen at the Chinese takeaway.
The aim is to put the flue "at a high level above head height and eye line" with the "the final flue discharge being above the gutter line of the building."
So please note it's not intended to be in the part of the wall in our the picture above that we took yesterday.
And while we are on the subject of extraction flues, regular Brigg Blog followers may be wondering what happened to the application submitted for 7 Bigby Street - Diya Spice.
The answer is: Still nothing.
An application given a date of September 4 in the North Lincolnshire Council system was submitted to retain the relocation of an extraction flue on the side of the building. But well over three months later, a decision has still not been reached. Officially it remains "under consideration."
The application has been assigned "delegated" status, meaning it is earmarked to be decided by planning staff, rather than having to go before the elected councillors during a monthly meeting of the North Lincolnshire planning committee at  Scunthorpe Civic Centre.
Well over 90 per cent of planning applications are now decided by staff - a procedure which generally speeds things up a great deal. But this one seems to be dragging on for a very long time.

  1. Historically, the Little Butchery was an extension of the The Butchery - now Elwes St. (the street was also previously called The Shambles)

    Questions to examined:
    The take-away must have an extractor fan already - where is that routed?

    Not quite related to the present application, but since the whole of the Central Business District of Brigg is within a Conservation Zone.....would it be possible for NLC to indicate an acceptable colour scheme for the area?
    For example, no primary, or bright colours would be a start.
