WHAT impact - if any - will the new rail footbridge Suggitts Lane have on the water table in this part of Cleethorpes?
As the project progresses, this subject will come under focus, especially if piling leads to penetration of the chalk bedrock.
There is a slight concern that there could be a risk of contamination or an increase in the water table at nearby Chapmans Pond which is a former brick pit fed by an aquifer.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that CCTV will be installed with the intention of reducing antisocial behaviour.
Following a request from the police, a condition has also been imposed that "the bridge shall not be brought into use until a suicide risk assessment has been undertaken".
In the event that the assessment requires the implementation of mitigation measures, these will need to be implemented prior to the bridge being brought into use.
The application by Network Rail was approved by North East Lincolnshire Council's planning committee against the recommendation of the case officer.
It is not known when construction works will start.
