BEGINNING TO TIRE OVER WAIT FOR DIYA SPICE DECISION IN BRIGG



A Brigg planning application has been sitting in the system for almost SIXTH MONTHS without North Lincolnshire Council announcing a decision.
Permission is being sought to retain the location of an extraction flue behind the Diya Spice takeaway in Bigby Street (see the left of picture).
In fairness, our district planning authority has a pretty good track record when it comes to the speed of determining applications. In keeping with other councils across the UK, it now delegates a major proportion of applications to its expert officers. In theory, this reduces the need to wait for monthly meetings of the planning committee of elected councillors to reach a decision. These days the councillors only handle controversial and/or major applications.
The Diya Spice application - currently categorised as delegated to staff to decide -  is  proving  an exception to this trend, having been lodged back on September 4.
The next oldest Brigg application yet to be determined dates from December, all the others submitted in the autumn having been settled one way or the other.
