FORRESTER HALL GARAGE IN BRIGG FACING DEMOLITION


Plans have been unveiled to knock down an old garage in Brigg and build a terrace of townhouses in its place.
If North Lincolnshire Council gives the go-ahead, Forrester Hall Garage, on Forrester Street, off Bridge Street, close to the A18, will come down and four two-bed townhouses will take its place.
Council planners have been told that the old hall is in a poor state of repair. It is not a listed building and is outside the Brigg Conservation Area "but sits close to buildings that are."
The applicant is Steve Whelpton, of Hibaldstow.
North Lincolnshire Council will welcome comments from the public about the application until March 14.
A decision is not expected to be made before mid-April.
