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.

English Heritage

As some of you may know, English Heritage have  been giving consideration to declaring the George & Dragon a listed building.  They have now finished their enquiries and have made a recommendation to the Department for Communities, Media and Sport (DCMS).  We await their decision with baited breath!  Rest assured, as soon as I hear anything I'll post it here.

Interestingly, it seems that two residents made separate applications independently to English Heritage.  I know who one of them is but not the other.  If the other applicant would like to drop me a line, I'd be delighted to swap notes.
