BRIGG COUNCIL SUPPORTS AMENDED PLANS FOR 16 NEW HOMES IN THE TOWN

Brigg Town Council is backing the proposed building of 16 new dwellings on the former Resource Centre and Community Hub site off Horstead Avenue, on the edge of the Springbank housing estate.
Amended plans incorporating proposed changes to the landscaping of the development were forwarded to the Town Council to consider as part of the public consultation process.
Coun Sharon Riggall, chairing the Planning & Environment Committee's latest meeting in the Angel building, noted comments made by Humberside Police about on-site lighting.
As part of a very detailed response, the force has suggested: "Appropriate street lighting should be provided around the development. Good lighting will deter intruders and reduce the fear of crime."
Coun Jane Kitching was pleased to see hedging for the site included in the plans.
Coun Ann Eardley hoped to see this development being served by the internal Brigg bus service which takes people to and from shops in the town centre. This receives a community grant from the council and picks up passengers elsewhere on the extensive sSpringbank estate.
Following discussions, the committee decided to support the amended scheme which will now be decided by North Lincolnshire planners at some future date.
The application has been submitted by JK Construction & Building Services Ltd, which is based in northern Lincolnshire. Read more about what's proposed here...
