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.

What Happens Next

The Planning application has now been "called in" by Richard Oldfield, Stafford Borough Councillor for Fulford Ward .  This means that the application cannot be decided by planning officers on their own.  It must be referred to the Planning Committee which we can attend to voice our objections.

At the time of writing no date has been set.
