BRIGG HOMES PLAN REJECTED

A proposed housing development in Brigg has been turned down by North Lincolnshire Council.
Planning permission was sought to carry out alterations and sub-divide an existing dwelling to form two dwellings and erect a new detached dwelling at Treetops, 2 Nicolgate Lane, off Wrawby Road (opposite Sir John Nelthorpe Lower School).
The council's planning committee reached a decision during its September meeting, held at Scunthorpe Civic Centre.
It refused permission because: "The proposal represents a cramped, uncharacteristic form of development which is out of keeping with the surrounding area."
Anyone refused planning permission may lodge an appeal with the Government, an inspector then deciding whether to uphold the local council's decision or grant permisson.
