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.

More Opposition to the Proposals

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust have joined us in opposing the planning application. According to their letter on the Stafford Borough Council website, the application has ecological implications on what is an area of natural woodland and protected species of wildlife.  The trust has consequently requested an extended phase 1 habitat survey.

It seems that this time of year is not ideal for a survey to be carried out and a more detailed survey may need to be done next summer.

The Trust has submitted a holding objection due to the need for further information.
