MORE ABOUT THE PLAN FOR 226 NEW BRIGG HOMES

 

The developer interested in building 226 new homes on land not far from Brigg Recreation Ground is still waiting to hear North Lincolnshire Council's response.
The recently-taken picture (above) shows crops growing in a field near the Rec, which is just beyond the distinctive avenue of tall trees.
In early June the council made public an "EIA screening request for a residential development" it had received for land off Wrawby Road, involving three fields.
EIA stands for Environmental Impact Assessment. Such a request can be made to a local planning authority prior to a formal planning application.
North Lincolnshire Council duly put the screening request out for one month's public consultation.
When making its submission for an Environmental Impact Assessment screening on June 5, the company said it would be grateful if the council responded "within the requisite three weeks."
As we near the end of August the council still has the EIA listed as "Decision not yet determined" although a date we've seen online might suggest that this will be announced in the not too distant future.
The intention is to provide access/entry to the development from the A18 by way of an improved junction on Wrawby Road near the the top of Churchill Avenue (see picture below).
The aim is to have a "four-armed priority-controlled compact roundabout."
It is not felt that the amount of traffic generated by the housing development will impact significantly on the operation of the local highway network.
