FOUR HOUSING SCHEMES GAIN TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORT

Four housing-related Brigg planning applications have gained the support of town councillors.
During the January meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee, held in the Angel Suite, members decided they were "in support" of the following:

• Two-storey extension, including minor alterations, at 16 Springbank.
• Erect dormer bungalow and  demolish existing garage, land adjacent to The Bungalow, Preston Drive. Committee chairman Coun Mike Storey said this was a "barren" strip of land.
• Relocate vehicular entrance and driveway and the erection of a gates at 47 Bigby High Road. Coun Storey described this as "fairly straightforward."
• Erect a detached triple garage at The Waterfront, Cadney Road.

The committee is also suporting pruning works planned on an ash tree within the Brigg Conservation Area at 3 Bridge Street. Coun Storey said this involved "a crown reduction."
North Lincolnshire Council, as the local planning authority, will now make decisions in each case.
