PLANS FOR SHOWROOM IN BRIGG TOWN CENTRE

North Lincolnshire Council is being asked to approve additions to a building in Brigg town centre where a showroom is planned.
Planning permission and listed building consent are being sought for No 2 Market Place.
House of Stoves wishes to install an external solid fuel flue and two balanced flues "to the side gable elevation."
A supporting statement supplied to the local authority with the planning application explains: "The outlet utilises an existing opening used for ventilation from the previous commercial use (betting shop) and can easily be reversed should the tenant vacate the premises without any affect to the building fabric."
A further heritage statement says: As part of the businesses showroom provision they have a number of stoves and appliances on display, a number of which are active and would share the provision of a single external flue together with two balanced flues for the gas appliances."
House of Stoves is seeking approval through an agent.
The ground floor "will act as a showroom for House of Stoves and will showcase their products (solid fuel and gas fired appliances)," planners have been informed.
Brigg Town Council will be consulted as part of the process before North Lincolnshire planners decide the applications.
The public consultation period (now under way) will end on July 25.
Ladbrokes, the major bookmaker, closed its Brigg Market Place outlet some months ago.
