'SIGNIFICANT DEMAND' FOR INDUSTRIAL UNITS IN BRIGG & MORE NOW PLANNED

The fact that Brigg is popular for commercial developments has been demonstrated by plans to create additional industrial units.
Well-known locally, CLS Engineering Ltd is seeking approval to erect eight industrial units, with associated parking and landscaping, on land to the north of Atherton Way.
This site is opposite Brigg Primary School and close to the M180.
Brigg Town Council's Planning & Environment Committee has been consulted about the scheme as part of the planning process.
At the committee's latest meeting held in the Angel building, Town Mayor Coun Brian Parker said five units had previously been approved for this site. Now the intention was to add three more.
Information supplied to North Lincolnshire planners in support of the application says: "Since the development of the five industrial units to the rear of the site has commenced, the applicant has realised significant demand for these units which exceeds the capacity of the current proposal.
"The applicant therefore wishes to amend the current permission for the front of the site to remove the B1 office and A3 café uses and develop the whole site with B2 & B8 industrial units."
North Lincolnshire Council will make its ruling on this application in due course.

Atherton Way was named after Coun Terry Atherton, the Leader of Glanford Borough Council and also the district's Mayor. Terry, from Kirton Lindsey, championed industrial and commercial development in the latter decades of the 20th century, with the aim of attracting companies and creating local employment.
Following the town planning meeting, we went down to photograph the development site at the weekend from Atherton Way, looking towards the M180.
