ANCHOLME PUB DEMOLITION - BRIGG TOWN COUNCILLORS HAVE THEIR SAY

There seems little doubt that Brigg is to lose its Ancholme pub, off Grammar School Road, to the demolition teams.
Knocking down the disused hostelry, built in the early 1960s, will need the prior approval of North Lincolnshire Council planners, which has yet to be granted.
Brigg Town Council has been consulted as part of this process and considered the application "for prior approval of the proposed demolition of the Ancholme Inn" at a meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee in the Angel Suite.
The application has been lodged by a local house-building company.
As a planning committee, town councillors could only make representations about the application before them concerning demolition - on which, as we say, the final say rests with North Lincolnshire planners.
Coun Mel Oades, chairing the meeting, suggested that if permission was granted for demolition, conditions should be imposed to limit the working hours of lorries visiting the site, to avoid the busiest periods of the day when nearby schools start and finish.
Coun John Kitwood said that driving down Grammar School Road could be "horrendous" and suggested the best thing anyone could do with the Ancholme pub site was to create a car park there, to be used by people living in nearby properties, thereby reducing congestion,
Coun Jane Kitching noted that some letters of objection about the demolition had been lodged with North Lincolnshire planners.
Councillor Oades summed things up at the end by saying: "All we can deal with now is the application before us."
NF adds: Proposed housing development in this area would require further application to the planners, in due course.
