BUSINESS MINI-BOOM IN BRIGG SUGGESTED BY NEW DEVELOPMENTS

Many businesses and property owners are looking to invest in Brigg at the moment -  a healthy sign indicative of suggestions that the British economy is picking up after a considerable spell in the doldrums. 
At a meeting next Wednesday, Brigg Town Council will consider the following schemes which will then go to North Lincolnshire planners for final decisions to be made:
ATHERTON WAY: Planning permission to erect a car valeting building and change of use of land for car sales pitch - land adjacent to Humberside Materials Lab.
ATHERTON WAY: Advertisement consent to display one externally illuminated fascia sign -   
land adjacent to Humberside Materials Lab.
EUROPA WAY: Planning permission to carry out the sale, repair, maintenance and display of agricultural machinery - land at the junction of Atherton Way/Europa Way.
ISLAND CARR ROAD, OFF BRIDGE STREET: Planning permission to change the use of business unit  into a martial arts school -  22 Island Carr Road.
MILL LANE: Planning permission to erect an extension - Cherry Tree Farm.
ELWES STREET: Planning permission for the conversion and alteration of sheltered housing scheme from bedsits and one bed flats to one and two bedroom apartments - 8-37 Ancholme Gardens.
ELWES STREET: Planning permission to create a fenced storage compound and two covered canopies - car park to the rear of the Angel.
GARDEN STREET: Planning permission to form a ground floor flat -  3 Garden Street.
ST JAMES' ROAD: Planning permission to erect a single storey rear extension -  13 St James'  Road.
In addition, there are plans to re-develop the former Coleman's Restaurant, in Queen Street, as business units (mentioned in a earlier Brigg Blog post).
At Brigg Town Council Planning and Environment Committee meetings in recent months, just one or two applications have generally appeared for consideration. But we start the New Year with a wide range - suggesting that people are feeling happier about spending their "hard-earned" on business ventures and property.
