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.

Here We Go Again?

Residents of Stone Road may have noticed surveyors at work on the pub site this morning.  It seems that the owners are having work carried out to survey road access and visibility from the entrance to the pub up and down Stone Road.  And of course, earlier this week we noticed various comings and goings and the sight of smoke coming from one of the chimneys.

Is this the start of another planning application?  Only time will tell!

Mind you, this does strike us as being rather odd.  Presumably the owners had this kind of survey undertaken prior to submitting the original application so why another one?  Makes you wonder ...

Be vigilant.
