BRIGG TOWN CENTRE TREE CAN BE FELLED

North Lincolnshire Council has granted permission for a tall tree in Brigg town centre to be removed.
Consent has been given to fell the leyland cypress at Demeter House School, on Bigby Street - within the Brigg Conservation Area.
On this occasion, the council says, it decided not to make a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
Our recent picture shows the tree, located to the right of the school building.
The council has also agreed to work being carried out on another Brigg tree that does have a TPO.
The authority has approved an application to undertake crown reduction by pollarding back to previous pruning points on a mature black poplar at 63 Bigby High Road.
However, North Lincolnshire Council has refused an outline application to erect 10 dwellings on land near the play area on New Street, Elsham.
The authority told the applicant that this development would "represent an isolated development carrying unacceptable character impacts" on local policies that are place.
Anyone refused planning permission has the right to appeal against the decision, if they wish to do so.
