Planning permission for change of use is being sought at 8 Bigby Street, which has previously housed an hairdressing salon.
The application is now under consideration by North Lincolnshire Council.
Any comments people wish to make can be sent to planning@northlincs.gov.uk
The council says this application is for planning permission "to change the use from Class A1 to A1 & Suis Generis."
The use of the Latin phrase, as we've said several times before on Brigg Blog, is hardly helpful to the public when it comes to understanding what's being proposed. But to be fair to the council, this is a nationally-defined planning term.
Certain uses do not fall within any "use class" for planning and are therefore considered to be Sui Generis (in a class of their/its own).
However, a statement sent to the council in support of this application says: "The proposed use will see the building used as a nail and beauty salon."
Elsewhere, the statement says the proposed change of use class from A1 to A1 & Suis Generis will have no impact on the surrounding area other than the benefit of bringing an unused commercial premise into use by offering wider scope for use. No external work to the building is proposed.
In case you were also left in the dark by reference to "A1" - this planning class covers shops, retail warehouses, hairdressers, undertakers, travel and ticket agencies, post offices, pet shops, sandwich bars, showrooms, domestic hire shops, dry cleaners, funeral directors and internet cafes. So now you know!
