PLANNING COMMITTEE MAKES DECISION ON BRIGG, ELSHAM & BROUGHTON APPLICATIONS

North Lincolnshire Council's Planning Committee, meeting at the Civic Centre in Scunthorpe, granted permission for home improvements to be carried out within the Brigg Conservation Area.
Feeling UPVC windows would detract from the character of Brigg Conservation Area, officers recommended refusal but the committee, comprising elected councils, gave the go ahead to replace the windows at the front of Thornsett, on Bigby Road,  with black and white flush-fit conservation-style UPVC windows.
A condition has been added that the work must start within three years.
Brigg Town Council supported  the application submitted by Rachel Coles.
The planning committee's February meeting also approved an application to erect a detached 1.5 storey eco dwelling with attached double garage on land adjacent to 17-19 Front Street, Elsham.
The committee gave permission for the erection of 10 new dwellings, along with associated access and landscaping, on former school playing fields, Broughton High Street.
