BRIGG CONSERVATION AREA REPLACEMENT SCHEME APPROVED

Planned improvements to a building in Brigg town centre have been approved.
Listed building consent has been granted by North Lincolnshire Council to allow the replacement of two sash windows at the well-known Albert House guest house at 23 Bigby Street.
The property has grade two listed status, is within the Brigg Conservation Area and is described as being Victorian in age.
Information submitted to the council with the application said a local joinery firm had been instructed to carry out this work.
"The windows will be made up as they were in 1857," the statement stresses. "They will be exact replicas - inside and out."
The applicant said she felt very passionate about keeping Albert House in its original format.
The current windows outlined in the applications are considered to be life expired.
North Lincolnshire Council has also given consent for pruning to be carried out to a beech tree which is subject to a Preservation Order - the location being 10 & 12 St Clares Walk, Brigg.
