COUNCIL LOOKS AT PROPOSED BRIGG CONSERVATION AREA TREE FELLING SITE IT'S NOT EASY TO VIEW

 

 

Members of Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee often pay personal site visits ahead of considering local applications of various kinds. 

However, one recently submitted within the conservation area is different to the majority because it is located behind a terraced property and cannot easily be seen.
The Town Council has been consulted over the proposed felling of a cherry tree within the rear garden of 18 Albert Street (part of a terrace near New Street).
In view of this tree's location and the fact that North Lincolnshire planning staff were expected to visit the site in due course, committee chairman Coun Brian Parker (the Deputy Town Mayor) said the unitary authority would be in a better position to judge and they should leave it to the planners.
Giving notice of intention to fell the tree, the applicant has told planners that the roots have taken over the small garden - ruining the lawn and patio. Previously, the roots had caused a drain blockage.
North Lincolnshire Council will now decide the application in due course.
