BRIGG COMMITTEE SUPPORTS REVISED SCHEME FOR LORD NELSON HOTEL

A scheme to install new signs outside the historic Lord Nelson Hotel in Brigg town centre has gained Town Council support.
Listed building and advertisement consent is being sought by owners The Old Mill Brewery to install replacement signs and re-paint the exterior of the hostelry at 24/25 Market Place.
This is an amended scheme - an earlier one having been rejected by planners because it was not felt to be in keeping with the buildings or the conservation area.
At the latest meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee held on Monday evening (June 25), chairman Mike Storey suggested: "They have obviously listened to be objections."
Coun Jane Kitching said of the revised submission: "It's a lot better - and a lot more in keeping."
The committee decided it was "in support" of the latest application.
Its views will be passed on to North Lincolnshire Council which will make the final decision on whether to grant permission.
The Lord Nelson Hotel offers drinks, meals and accommodation and is managed by father and son Richard and Jordan Smith.
