There's plenty of demand in Brigg for additional housing - particularly close to the main shopping area and amenities.
But one scheme aimed at providing three new dwellings within the town centre has now been waiting 18 months for a decision.
Back on June 27, 2017 a "valid date" was assigned by North Lincolnshire Council to an application it had received to erect three dwellings on land to the rear of 53 Wrawby Street.
This is an area of land fronting onto Cross Street, latterly used for private car parking.
Consulted as part of the planning process, Brigg Town Council told the North Lincolnshire authority it supported the proposal. That was in late July 2017.
A statement sent to planners in support of the application suggested: " The proposed erection of 3 dwellings would provide additional accommodation within the locality, thereby making efficient use of the existing site."
It is within the Brigg Conservation Area and the land was occupied by three properties until their demolition in the mid-1970s.
The application still appears on the "not yet determined" list for Brigg, and has not been marked "withdrawn."
Most submitted to North Lincolnshire Council are decided within a couple of months; sometimes it only takes a few weeks for a ruling to be made.
So why the delay with this one?
Brigg Blog has put that question to the council. So far no reply has been received. But if one is provided we will share it with you.
