Brigg Blog is always delighted to report plans for new sports facilities in the area, and neighbouring Broughton is now in line for a welcome addition to be enjoyed by many people in the years to come, as long as official approval is forthcoming for the development.
Planning permission is now being sought for a 91m x 55m 3G all-weather football pitch with associated grassed area, car park and lighting, on land adjacent to Broughton's long-established sports field near Scawby Road.
The application has been submitted by the Broughton Community And Sports Association.
The pitch, to be floodlit and surrounded by protective metal fencing, is earmarked for what is currently agricultural land next to the sportsground.
The 'Muga' (multi-games area) will be used by all local sport groups throughout the year for practice sessions and sporting events, planners have been informed, and the floodlighting "will be strictly controlled by the Broughton Community & Sports Association Management Team."
This scheme involves creating a new entrance off Scawby Road, leading to a car park with space for 32 vehicles.
North Lincolnshire Council is now considering the application, and Broughton Town Council will be consulted as part of the planning process.
