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.

Stand-By

It looks as if the site was sold a while back and the commencement of work may well be imminent.  One local resident has been told that initial building activities are about to be begin although it is by no means clear that the developers are aware of condition 19 to the planning permission which requires details of road construction, street lighting and drainage to be approved first.

Nice of them to let us know, eh?  Anyway, our Parish Councillors and Borough Councillors are on the case.  We''ll keep you posted and let you have the full story as the situation becomes clearer.
