'MUCH-NEEDED AFFORDABLE HOUSING' PLANNED ON SITE IN BRIGG


Plans have been put forward to provide "much-needed affordable housing" on land in Brigg.
There is considerable demand for quality flats in the town and, if approved, this attractive new one will have living accommodation on two levels and be within easy reach of the town centre.
If North Lincolnshire Council decides to grant the necessary planning permission, the flat will be sited at the southern end of West Terrace, off Bridge Street.
There will be parking at ground floor level (open and minus garage door) with living accommodation above.
North Lincolnshire planners are now considering the outline application to erect one three-storey flat and ground floor parking facility with appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved for subsequent consideration at a later date if the outline plans gain approval.
The land in question is currently rented out for parking vehicles, planners have been told.
A statement submitted in support of the application says the development would greatly improve the visual amenity of the area and also "provide much-needed affordable housing within the sustainable central Brigg area."
A plan of the site indicates provision of a garden allied to the flat, and a 1.8m timber boundary fence.
Brigg Town Council will be consulted as part of the planning process.

PICTURED: Looking towards the end of West Terrace where new housing is being proposed, and a property which indicates how the proposed one may look, although it will not have a garage door at ground level.
