PLAN FOR NEW BRIGG BAR TO BE CONSIDERED TODAY BY COUNCILLORS

The new bar proposed for the former HSBC bank premises in Brigg town centre is about to go through the first stage in the planning process.
Although the proposal was only made public through North Lincolnshire Council's planning portal late last week, it has arrived in time to be discussed at the October meeting of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee tonight (Tuesday, October 27).
The Town Council is consulted about local planning applications and makes its views known to North Lincolnshire Council which makes final decisions in each case.
The consultation period about this application seeking planning permission and listed building consent is November 19.
Approval is being sought for change of use of the ground floor to a licensed bar and for conversion of the upper floors to two apartments and offices, including associated alterations.
Other Brigg applications will also be considered by the committee tonight night, from 6.45pm. This will be a 'virtual' online meeting using the Zoom facility.
'Change of use' permission is being sought to create a new school on Wrawby Road - another application made public in recent days.
Approval is being requested to demolish an existing garage and replace it with a new one (with studio above) at Nicolgate, 26 Wrawby Road.
Permission is also being sought to divide an existing dwelling into two, including associated works, at 21 Albert Street.
The committee will consider an application to fell an ash tree at 11a Wrawby Road.

Tonight's planning session will be followed at 7.15pm by the monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council - again conducted online through Zoom.
