Three applications for planning permission in Brigg will reach the first stage in the process on Wednesday.
Although North Lincolnshire Council will have the final say, Brigg Town Council must be consulted and can pass on any views and comments to the decision-makers on the unitary authority.
The applications are:
The erection of a mixed use development comprising eight town houses, six flats and three shops, land to the rear of 5-6 Market Place (Cary Lane side).
Erect an extension and carry out alterations to building and change of use of domestic garden to a parking area - rear of 22 Grammar School Road (close to Glebe Road).
Remove existing embankment and replace with reinforced concrete retaining wall and 2.4m palisade fence. Extend the existing yard and access road to new wall - Units 1,2,3,4, southern boundary of, near Albert Street and Brigg railway station.
The Town Council Planning and Environment Committee will meet in the Angel Suite, off Exchange Place, on Wednesday, December 12 (7pm).
This will be followed at 7.45pm at the same venue by a meeting of the Brigg Town Council Property and Services Committee.
Items for consideration include a report on the Angel Suite and updates on the allotments off Atherton Way and Grammar School Road.
Both committee meetings are open to interested members of the public who can gain access to the Angel through the conservatory-like Rotunda building near the car park.

A number of important aspects sping to mind with reference to the Grimley Smith application.
ReplyDeleteIt proposed planning application will certinly improve both the townscape and retail assets of Brigg.
However -
1. The status and ownwership of Market Lane needs to be ascertained before this application is progressed.
2. The site is potentially of important archaeological interest.
It is in one of the highest elevated parts of Brigg...and, therefore, could be superimposed over ancient artefacts.
There is no Archaeological Report contained in the application - although there is one, which relates to borehole sampling, but this is associated with assessing soil contamination - vis-a-vis when Smith Parkinson occupied the site and had an underground fuel tank.
3. The application mentions vehicle exits/entrance from Cary Lane - this would contravene and seems to ignore the 'No Entry' conditions in this part of Cary Lane....and exiting traffic would either have to travel the wrong way down a one-way section of Cary Lane, or exit by crossing the pedestrian zone in the Market Place.
