The North Lincolnshire Council planning committee is scheduled to meet on 24 September 2025 to discuss a range of planning applications, including a deferred application for residential development in Sandtoft, and a request to modify planning obligations tied to a previously approved housing development in Barton upon Humber. The committee will also consider applications for various building projects and changes of use across North Lincolnshire.

Deed of Variation for Land off Canberra View, Barton upon Humber

The committee will be asked to consider a request to modify a section 106 agreement (s106) linked to planning permission PA/2020/1628 for land off Canberra View in Barton upon Humber.

Keigar Homes is seeking to change the s106 agreement due to viability concerns. The original agreement, dated 31 March 2022, secured contributions of £3,090,650.80 from the developer.

The developer is requesting to remove the following obligations:

• 50 affordable housing units
• £2,363,217.00 for primary and secondary education
• £81,154.50 for off-site open space
• £216,039.00 for leisure
• £100,000.00 for highways
• £17,118.00 for public transport
• £2,000.00 for archaeology

According to the report pack, Keigar Homes has confirmed that the following contributions would still be delivered:

• £104,669.80 for on-site open space maintenance
• Approximately 1 acre of land for a cemetery extension
• £25,000.00 for phase 4 balancing pond maintenance
• £100,298.00 for phase 5 balancing pond maintenance (if Anglian Water does not adopt the pond)
• £97,485.75 towards off-site recreation/open space improvements in Barton (already received by the council)

The council instructed Carter Jonas LLP to conduct an independent review, and they advised that the development could deliver a portion of affordable housing on site and a reduced level of financial contributions.

The report pack states that, following negotiations, North Lincolnshire Council officers and Carter Jonas find a proposal of 16 affordable housing units and a £1,447,156 financial contribution to be reasonable.

The report pack notes that Councillor Paul Vickers called in this item due to significant public interest.

Outline Planning Application for Residential Development in Sandtoft

The committee will be asked to consider a deferred application, PA/2023/192, for outline planning permission for residential development to the rear of Manor Cottage on Thorne Road, Sandtoft. The application was deferred at the planning committee meeting on 27 August 2025 to allow for a site visit.

The Planning Development Manager recommends that the application from Mr R Lister be refused.

The site is outside the defined settlement boundary for Sandtoft, within the open countryside and within flood zone 2/3a¹. The report pack says that Belton Parish Council objects to the proposal, citing concerns about access and increased traffic on an already busy road. One objection from the public raised concerns about unsold houses in the area and questioned the desirability of the location due to the nearby industrial estate.

The report pack says that the Environment Agency has reviewed a submitted flood risk assessment and has not objected to the proposal.

The report pack notes that the council cannot currently demonstrate an up-to-date five-year housing land supply².

Planning Application for Change of Use to Convenience Store in Brigg

The committee will be asked to consider planning application PA/2025/619 from The Ramana Global Ltd, for the change of use of the existing Monument Garage Ltd on Bigby Road in Brigg, to a convenience store, with 10 condensers fixed to the external wall.

The Planning Development Manager recommends that the application be refused. Councillors Rob Waltham MBE and Carl Sherwood called in this item due to significant public interest.

Brigg Town Council objects to this application, raising concerns about:

• impacts on the neighbouring residential area
• increased noise nuisance
• vehicular congestion and traffic
• the safety of road users and pedestrians
• increased traffic
• minimal parking facilities
• impact on the conservation area
• impact on listed buildings (war memorial).

The report pack notes that 79 responses object to the proposal, raising concerns including:

• car parking on the road
• traffic on the roundabout
• traffic on Princes Street
• the location of the convenience store
• pedestrian safety
• insufficient car parking space
• impact on the character of the area
• the cumulative impact of convenience stores/supermarkets in the area
• impact on the conservation area
• impact on the war memorial
• impact on the roundabout
• parking and access
• noise nuisance.

The report pack notes that 3 responses support the proposal, stating that it will:

• provide jobs
• decrease the use of cars to shops by people in the area
• encourage walking to shops.

The report pack states that Highways have concerns regarding the increase in daily trips to and from the site, parking provision, the proposed entrance to the parking area and traffic.
