A FORMER Lichfield pub could be turned into business or community space if plans are given the green light.
The Greyhound Inn on Upper St John Street has been closed for more than five years.
Now a planning application for change of use of the ground floor has now been submitted to Lichfield District Council.
If approved, the space could be used for commercial, business, service or local community purposes, while the upper floors would remain as two self-contained residential apartments.
A planning statement submitted as part of the application said:
“The public house has been unused since approximately February 2020.
“The owners have extended the ground floor and refurbished the existing ground floor. The upper floors are now apartments.
“There is no intention to omit a community use for the pub, but there is a requirement to allow a flexibility in how the pub area can be used.”
A now typical tactic adopted by developers, often with council endorsement, to renague on a previously agreed provision for local people. Now that the dust has settled and the overcrowded houses? have been built, they apply to disregard the replacement of a much loved pub! The council will allow it. Let’s face it they have wrecked much else!
Labour already getting to work of destroying Lichfield you was warned about Labour but you blindly voted them in
@sam: Lichfield still has a Tory council.
Sam has rumbled the plan. From their secret base in a hollow volcano, Labour is ignoring Ukraine, ignoring the environment and working only on the ruination of Lichfield.
Sam has somehow got hold of the secret plans. I advise Sam to steer clear of anyone with an umbrella. Sir Keir will let nothing stand in the way of his evil plans.
