BRIGG CONTRACT WORKERS ACCOMMODATION APPROVED

North Lincolnshire Council has now approved the change of use of the Riverside Mews Residential Home in Brigg town centre to provide accommodation for contract workers.
The site at 34 Market Place is within the Brigg Conservation Area and the building is Grade II listed, overlooking the Old River Ancholme and being close to the County Bridge.
A report prepared by council planners said: "The use, as proposed, has been in operation for approximately 18 months and has not resulted in any known complaints or objections from surrounding properties. There are no physical works to the building itself. Therefore, there is no adverse impact on the character of the listed building, the setting of the listed building, or the character and appearance of the listed building. No objections have been received from neighbours, the town council or any other consultee. The use itself is similar to that of a hotel/guest house and is not out of keeping with the town centre setting. It is considered that the use is acceptable and is in accordance with the policies in the local plan and core strategy."
