BUILDING SCHEMES SHOW BRIGG AREA IS MUCH SOUGHT-AFTER AS A PLACE TO LIVE

Plans to build new homes in Brigg and nearby communities, or extend existing properties, continue to keep decision-making councillors and officers busy - our area being much sought-after, as the estate agents say.
Ruling on most applications these days is a task delegated to planning staff, but some continue to be decided by committees comprising elected representatives which meet periodically.
North Lincolnshire Council's Planning Committee has refused permission to erect 24 dwellings comprising 12 rent to home buy, 6 shared ownership and 6 open market dwellings on land to the east of Hillside Road, Broughton.
Giving its reasons to the applicant, the local planning authority said it was not convinced about Hillside Road being a suitable width to provide a satisfactory access to serve the proposed development, nor that this road can cater for the significant additional vehicle movements, including construction traffic, that the development would generate.
The council also said: "The proposal would introduce a significant amount of built form on a greenfield site outside the identified development boundaries of Broughton that would urbanise the existing rural landscape to the detriment of the scenic quality and local character of the landscape."
Anyone refused permission can, if they wish, lodge an appeal to be undertaken by a planning inspector.

The committee granted permission to erect a dwelling, including demolition of existing garage, on land to the rear of Milkwood, Melton Road, Wrawby.
SCAWBY: North Lincolnshire Council has given its approval to erect single and two-storey extensions to the side and rear, to erect single-storey extensions to the front, create a terrace to the front and side, and extend a detached garage at Lyndhurst, 42 Messingham Lane.
