PEOPLE KEEN FOR UPDATE ON HOUSING PLANNED FOR BRIGG


A number of local people over recent weeks have asked Brigg Blog what's happening with the proposed scheme to demolish well-known shop premises and replace them with three residential dwellings, a retail unit and garages for parking.
A planning application for the former Sherwood cycle shop (now in different ownership) and an adjoining property at 11-12 Bridge Street was made public on August 5. View details here...
As the New Year draws near, North Lincolnshire Council is still considering the application - no decision having yet been taken.

Other significant Brigg applications awaiting decisions from planners include:
  • Change of use of the ground floor to a licenced bar and conversion of the upper floors to two apartments and offices including associated alterations, 27 Market Place - the former HSBC bank premises (made public on October 14). View full details of the scheme here...
  • Outline application to erect 70 dwellings with appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved for subsequent consideration, Keyo Agricultural Services, Island Carr Road (made public on August 27). View details here...
  • Erect five industrial units with associated car parking and landscaping on land north of Plot B, Atherton Way, Ancholme Business Park (made public on July 29). View details here...
Once local applications have been made public, a four-week consultation period begins so local people, groups, authorities and others can make their views known.
