Why housing?

Planning documents state: “Within this area there is a need for affordable housing and thus the need to convert the property into affordable residential dwellings.

“The property’s current poor condition will be improved as to undergo a thorough refurbishment.”

What will the conversion be like inside?

Now that the changes have been granted the green light, builders will bring two apartments, a managers’ office, storage space and office space on the ground floor and four additional apartments and one house on the first and second floor.

What other changes will there be?

The office, apartments and house will all have an entrance at the front of the building with the apartments and house including another access at the back of the building.

A new metal staircase on the outside of the building and a bin store will be built at the back of the former pub.

What about car parking and getting in and out of the site?

Access to the site will remain the same from the front and rear of the building.
