PLAN TO BUILD NEW HOMES IN BRIGG TOWN CENTRE HAS BEEN AWAITING A DECISION FOR ALMOST A YEAR


It is now almost a year since an application was submitted to erect three dwellings on a small parcel of land within Brigg town centre.
But no decision has been forthcoming from North Lincolnshire Council.
The land in question is to the rear of  of 53 Wrawby Street, adjoining Cross Street.
The council assigned the application a valid date of June 29, 2017 and invited comments from the public by August 3 (10 months ago).
Brigg Town Council responded on July 25 by saying it supported the proposal.
Between July 11 and August 2, three members of the public lodged objections, giving a range of reasons including loss of parking.
Back on August 21 last year, North Lincolnshire Council's conservation staff put in a "holding objection" on the grounds of "inadequate heritage assessment" and "concerns about design."
Most planning applications in Brigg are decided by planners within a few months.
