60 NEW HOMES AND NEW LIDL STORE FOR BRIGG

The big mound of earth shows that work has started on the site that will house a brand new Brigg store for retail giants Lidl
On the face of it there's not much to see at present on schemes aimed at bringing 60 new homes to Brigg and also to provide us with a brand new Lidl store.
However, two important steps forward have been undertaken, as illustrated by these pictures.
First, heavy plant is busy on the old lorry wash site - just off Atherton Way and the A18 - where Lidl is to create its new Brigg store.
As most Brigg Blog followers will already be aware, the aim is for Lidl's existing store to be demolished, in due course, with Tesco intending to build itself much bigger premises, taking in part of the site located by the other main retailer.
YOU COULD SAY THAT LIDL IS NOW MOVING HEAVEN AND EARTH TO GET THINGS UNDER WAY.
Meanwhile, Keigar Homes - planning 60 new homes on land behind Peacock and Binnington's premises - has successfully gained an alteration to the planning consent so the access can be off Ancholme Way and not through Kiln Lane and onto Bridge Street.
Part of this site is used, infrequently, for agricultural machinery auctions, if you are still trying to visualise exactly what we are talking about.
North Lincolnshire Council has agreed to the altered access, stipulating that there should be no right turn for vehicles exiting the development onto the A18. Instead, drivers will go left and then use the nearby roundabout to return along Bridge Street if they are heading off towards Scawby Brook.

The site earmarked for 60 additional properties in Brigg by Keigar Homes - with Peacock and Binnington's premises in the distance. Access to the A18 will be gained from an entrance just beyond the Ancholme Way bridge, from where we took this picture (and the one at the top of the page).

....so when will P&B sell-up and move to another site down Athertom Way?
Past reservations about the area about P&B as unsuitable for residential property as it's on a fllod plain has now been superceded.
Now the land become a potential bonanza of real estate for housing development...60 houses could become 'X'
