BRIGG GARDEN CENTRE PLANS NEW ADDITION

Brigg Garden Centre is seeking permission to make a new addition to its site on the outskirts of the town.
An application has now been submitted to West Lindsey District Council for a new warehouse. The scheme is now being considered by the local authority.
Approval is being requested for the erection of two-storey warehouse, reconfiguration of an existing car park, laying out of a service yard, and the erection of a service yard fence at the site off Bigby High Road (A1084).
A detailed statement submitted with the application explains the intention clear existing storage containers to make room for the new warehouse. This will not involve extending the current site.
"The building will be two storeys, with an upper mezzanine level providing additional storage space," the statement says.
"It is to be situated in an area of the site that is currently inaccessible to customers, and it is intended to remain that way with it to be used by garden centre staff only.
"A new service yard area will be created to the eastern end of the warehouse with the existing fence line to be extended out to accommodate delivery vehicles turning around.
"Access to the new service yard area will be through the existing overflow car park which currently has a gravel finish and as such the route around the edge is to receive a tarmac finish.
"The warehouse is to have three roller shutters in total to provide access for forklift trucks carrying goods. Access ramps at each entrance have been designed to minimise the need for extensive regrading works to the existing landscape."
A Public Consultation Period is now underway on the application.

Brigg Garden Centre recently received approval for the removal of existing buildings and structures and the erection of a two-storey office building and car parking area.
