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.

Amended Application

Just to bring you all up to date with the situation, we have been advised that all letters sent in so far will be taken into consideration.  That doesn't mean that you shouldn't write in again if you feel strongly enough about it especially given that Highways are no longer objecting to change of wording.  This in itself is a bit worrying as all manner of unsafe practices might now begin to emerge on the site once the pub has gone.

The application has definitely been called in and we are currently preparing a case to take before the Planning Committee.  Let's trust that we have more luck than last time.  Do email us with any points you think are relevant.

    Regarding the comment that was left here on Saturday concerning the SBC website, if the author would like to email me details of the problem I'll see they get to the appropriate authorities. Many people have had similar difficulties in posting comments and the only way we will stand any chance of getting action is through persistence. But first of all let us have the facts please. Thanks.
