Well, it's all up there now. Full details of the new application are now available on the Stafford Borough Council website. If you want to take a look at all the documents, you can use the link in the side panel on this page. For those of you who don't then here is a quick summary.
The application proposes eight "dwellings" (houses to you and me). There are two rows comprising four houses in each, set either side of an access road which would run from Stone Road to the rear of the site (what is currently the car park). The access road would be "unadopted" which presumably means that the Borough Council won't have any responsibility for its upkeep.
The houses are three storeys high. The groundfloor consists of an integral garage, kitchen/ diner, utility and lounge.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor (ie. the roof void) there are two more bedrooms making five bedrooms in all.
And that's about the size of it. We are currently studying these plans in detail. In the meantime, if you have any thoughts you want to share, either make a comment or drop us a line using the link on the right hand side of the page.
One final thing, according to the Staffsbc website, consultation letters have been sent out so we should be getting them any day now.
Happy reading.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
This popular and historic pub was acquired by its owners in 2009 with a view, initially, to building flats for social housing and then subsequently developing a small housing estate. Local residents opposed these plans from the start.
Planning permission was granted in 2010 after which the site was put up for sale. After many years of inactivity, building work finally started in July 2015. Locally, this was seen as good news. However, the houses have yet to be completed.
The aim of this Blog has been to keep residents informed of current developments and to record the long history of this small community's fight to keep its pub.Wednesday, 11 November 2009
