SHOP FRONT, BOAT CLUB BUILDING & DOMESTIC PROPERTY PLANS CONSIDERED BY BRIGG COUNCILLORS

Three proposed developments in Brigg have successfully passed through the first stage in the planning process.
Brigg Town Council is consulted when local planning applications are submitted. Its Planning & Environment Committee, meeting recently in the Buttercross, raised no objections to the following proposals:
Erect steel building frame, Glanford Boat Club, Island Carr Road.
Install new shop front and windows, 64 Wrawby Street (listed building consent also being sought).
Application for a non-material amendment to already granted planning permission, to permit an additional fifth bedroom for a new dwelling approved for land adjacent to Cemetery Lodge, Wrawby Road.
When the committee looked at the boat club building proposals, Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker, who was chairing the meeting, stressed: "They need something like this."
Information submitted in support of this application, on behalf of the club, said the building was required to house a site-based mobile crane used mainly to lift boats out of the river before winter and to lift them back into the water during the spring, plus boat maintenance during the summer months.
Later in the meeting Coun Parker said he could see no problems with the shop front proposal for Wrawby Street nor the fifth bedroom outlined for the property on Wrawby Road.
Coun Jane Kitching asked whether the boat club building would be permanent, and was told this would be the case.
Coun Ann Eardley inquired about the building's height and was told it would be 4.5 metres.
Coun Jane Gibbons said of the Wrawby Road proposal: "It's fine by me."
Brigg Town Council has passed on its views about all three applications to the North Lincolnshire planning authority which will make decisions on each in due course.
