BRIGG PLANNING APPLICATION GOES A YEAR WITHOUT DECISION BEING REACHED

Forrester Hall Garage in Brigg - Nigel Fisher's Brigg Blog

A Brigg planning application has now been "under consideration" by North Lincolnshire Council for an entire year!
Planning permission to erect a terrace of four two-bed flats with associated access and landscaping works (including demolition of existing garage) at Forrester Hall Garage, Forrester Street, just off Bridge Street, was sought on February 14, 2013.
The planning authority allowed the usual month for public consultation, giving people the chance to make their views known. The council then set an "expiry date" of April 11 - after which a decision was expected to follow within a few weeks. 
But since then this application has remained undecided.
Planning authorities across the UK have to publish the time taken to decide all their applications and there will be some government "bean counters" taking note of how different councils perform.
Overall, North Lincolnshire Council has a good record when it comes to handling applications with speed and efficiency, but there are always exceptions.
Maybe someone in authority will take a look at this and jog things along.
