COUNCIL MAKES BRIGG DECISION ON WHITE HART PUB PREMISES

 

Planners have now made their decision on an application for the historic White Hart pub premises in Brigg town centre.
North Lincolnshire Council has granted permission to the applicant to erect a two-storey extension, partial change of use to add self-catering accommodation in addition to the public house, and demolition of part of building.
Many people living in Brigg and district, including former customers of the White Hart, have been awaiting the planning authority's ruling with interest since the public consultation period ended.
A report on the application, prepared by council staff, took a detailed look at the proposals for this grade two listed building close to the County Bridge and adjoining the Old River Ancholme.
"The riverfront extension built in the 1970s will remain but will be re-rendered to match the pub and will ensure a cohesive finish across the buildings and enhance the conservation area," the report noted.
"There will be no change to the existing pub layout; this will be retained, extended and improved. The rear courtyard for parking and the beer garden facing the water will both be retained."
The report added: "On the whole, the proposal would not have a significant adverse impact on the architectural and historic merit of the listed building and the conservation area."
Giving a 'decision date' of August 27 (Friday) the council revealed the granting of planning permission.
