KEIGAR HOMES GRANTED BUILDING APPROVAL IN BRIGG


Keigar Homes - the well-known local house-builder - has been granted planning permission to erect a dwelling and a detached annexe in Brigg.
North Lincolnshire Council has approved the application relating to Pelham House alongside the A18 on Bridge Street.
 



Pelham House, the detached property pictured above, had been disused for some time and was boarded off to the public for safety and security reasons prior to its recent demolition.
It had a few guises over the years and was once used by recruitment company Apollo 2000.
These pictures show the property a few months ago and the site where the new dwelling and annexe can now be erected.

Brigg Town Council - consulted about this application - did not object but "felt it would be good if some of the architectural features on the original dwelling could be retained."
A detailed report prepared by North Lincolnshire Council planning staff about Keigar's proposal said: "The architectural features of the existing building  are noted, however this is proposed to be replaced with a modern dwelling which is of traditional appearance and which has a balanced façade to both its front and rear elevations. 

"The dwelling will be positioned in line with existing dwellings and buildings to the north and south and will be set marginally back from the highway footpath at a distance of approximately 4m. 
"The height and scale of the proposed dwelling is consistent with the existing dwellings located along the western side of Bridge Street and the  dwelling will be located within a predominantly residential part of Brigg."
However, in granting planning permission, North Lincolnshire Council has added a condition "to reduce the risk of flooding to the  proposed development and future occupants."

Among the stipulations is one saying that the ground floor of the annexe "shall not be used as sleeping accommodation at any time."
