RENOWNED RETAILER REVEALS PLANS FOR NEW STORE IN THE BRIGG AREA CREATING ABOUT 15 JOBS


North Lincolnshire Council planners are now considering an application from a well-known retailer which is seeking permision to build a new store in the Brigg area, creating about 15 local jobs.
The proposal involves a single-storey neighbourhood foodstore, the creation of a new vehicular and pedestrian access, car parking, external plant equipment, landscaping and associated works.
Lincolnshire Co-operative Ltd wants to develop the convenience store on land  adjacent to 47 West Street, Scawby, and open seven days a week from 7am to 10pm.
Last December the council refused an application from the same firm to  establish a store in the village.
Planners felt the proposed neighbourhood food store, by virtue of its siting, scale, height and design, would remove a significant part of an Area of Amenity Importance along the West Street frontage, thereby adversely affecting the open character and setting of this part of Scawby.
However, following this refusal, agents for the applicant say the proposal "has been revisited to address the concerns raised with the previous scheme."
If approved, the store will be set back from the road, towards the rear of the site, while 31 car parking spaces are proposed to the front
A trolley park will be located near the entrance, along with three cycle stands.
A new vehicular access into the site is proposed from West Street, leading to the new car park.
Safe pedestrian access will be from West Street via a zebra crossing.
At Hibaldstow, there's already a relatively new Co-op serving the village (pictured above) and  Broughton has gained one in recent years. There are many others in northern Lincolnshire.
