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.

An Interesting Development

It seems that the current planning application, 09/12464/FUL, the one we have all been fighting, is to be withdrawn.  PA Taylor Plans, acting on behalf of the owners, have written to Stafford Borough Council advising them of their intention to do this. 

However, let's not get too carried away with what at first sight looks like welcome news.  They are intending to submit a new application based on a "housing scheme" with fewer units.  Quite what this will look like is anybody's guess and we'll just have to await developments. The reconsultation exercise will not start until the current application has been withdrawn and a new one submitted.
