FINAL DECISIONS PENDING ON BRIGG NEW BUILD HOUSING PLANS

Proposals to build new homes in Brigg have cleared the first stage of the planning process without any adverse comments.
Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee raised no objections to a detached house being built adjoining Lyng Place on Cadney Road or to a new flat being constructed on land at the end of West Terrace.
There were also no adverse comments about a new garage (with storage space above) being built at 12 Wrawby Road (almost opposite the entrance to Health Place).
Town councillors, meeting on Tuesday evening in the Buttercross, also went along with the felling of a diseased ash tree in the rear garden of Merrivale on Bigby Road (at the edge of the Conservation Area) although Coun Sharon Riggall, chairing the session, suggested it would have been nice if the applicant had offered to plant a suitable replacement.
Coun Riggall said the West Terrace flat would tidy up this area. She noted on-site parking was included in the plans with turning space provision.
Potential flood risk was raised by Coun Ann Eardley, but Coun Jane Kitching pointed out that the garage would be at ground floor level with living accommodation on the storeys above.
Coun Riggall noted that the new domestic garage planned for 12 Wrawby Road was in line with what some other households had done nearby.
The Lyng Place application prompted Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker to express some surprise that a new property had not already been built on this land.
These property-related planning applications and the notice of intention to fell the ash tree will now go before North Lincolnshire Council for final decisions to be made. The Town authority's views will be forwarded to planning staff.
Coun Riggall has now succeeded Coun Parker as chairman of the Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee. They are pictured above.
