BRIGG PLANNING DECISION AFTER SEVEN MONTH WAIT

It took seven months and one day but North Lincolnshire Council has at least reached a decision on a Brigg planning application lodged early last September.
The authority has refused to grant permission to retain the relocation of an extraction flue at the Diya Spice takeaway, 7 Bigby Street.
Announcing its reasons for turning down the application, the council said that "the large silver flue can be clearly seen as you travel in an easterly direction along Bigby Street."
The authority suggests the flue "draws the eye and detracts from the traditional character of the Brigg Conservation Area" - something that it sees as contrary to a policy in the Local Plan.
Anyone refused planning permission has the right to appeal to the Government in an effort to get the decision overturned.
