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.

Planning Application Called-in

The public consultation period has now finished.  Past experience shows, however, that late submissions are sometimes accepted.  If you haven't got your objection letter in yet, there may still be time.

Borough Councillor Richard Oldfield has called-in the application.  That means that, whatever the outcome of the Planning  Department's deliberations, it has to go before the Planning Committee.

More when we get it.

    Check out todays media commentary on the National Housing Federation report on the decline of traditional British village life.
    It says "British village life is dying out because the cornerstone of traditional village life,the rural pubs,are closing at record rates."
    One of its key recommendations is to urge the govenment to speed up its intentions to give local communities the powers to save local pubs.
    Worth a look.
