PLANS FOR NEW BRIGG HOUSING CONSIDERED BY COUNCILLORS

Outline plans to put housing on a well-known site in Brigg have found favour with the Town Council.
North Lincolnshire Council planners will now decide whether to grant outline permission for residential development on Glebe Road.
The site is  currently occupied by Brigg Kids Club and the plan is to demolish the existing building, with the pre-school moving to another location in the town.
Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee, meeting in the Angel Suite on Monday evening, raised no concerns over the outline application.
Chairman Coun Mike Storey explained that matters like parking provision would be looked at if a detailed planning application followed in due course.
Coun Jane Kitching pointed out that a very attractive housing development had already been provided nearby on Glebe Road. It was built on the former County Primary School site.
The area now occupied by the Kids Club was once the town's Co-op store, later becoming the HQ of electrical contractors Bowness & Gray.
Brigg Town Council has no objections to a single storey extension being erected at 6 East Parade, including demolition of an existing conservatory.
The intention is to remove an existing wooden structure and add an extension, alter the utility room and add a shower room.
North Lincolnshire Council will now consider whether to grant planning permission.
From time to time, Brigg Town Council exercises its right to consider applications in nearby villages and hamlets. This proved to be the case with one in Wressle.
Brigg Town Council has raised no objections to planning permission being granted for the retention of a wellsite and access track for the production of hydrocarbons, together with an extension of the site by 0.12 hectares for the installation of additional security facilities; site reconfiguration to facilitate the installation of a new impermeable membrane, French drain and surface water interceptor; construction of a new bund, tanker loader plinth and internal roadway system; installation of up to 2 additional groundwater monitoring boreholes and deepening of 3 existing groundwater monitoring boreholes; well operation; installation of production facilities and equipment; instillation of gas engine and electrical grid connection; oil and gas production for a temporary period of 15 years; and restoration to arable land.
North Lincolnshire Council will now rule on that application.
