Campaigners say they hope to save part of a Lichfield pub from being demolished to make way for housing.

Planning permission is being sought for the Greyhound Inn on Upper St John Street.

[Ten new homes are being proposed for the site](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/plans-unveiled-for-ten-homes-on-site-of-lichfield-pub/), with demolition of the single-storey element of the existing pub building.

But in an email to members, the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has said it intends to fight the plans.

> “The application seeks to demolish the single storey level of the Greyhound containing the majority of the pub including the bar.  
>  
> “This would allow the developer to place ten houses on the site, which includes land surrounding the pub.  
>  
> “This is despite permission already in place which allows eight dwellings on the surrounding area but would leave the pub largely intact.  
>  
> “In other words, the developer is trying to shoehorn in two extra dwellings at the expense of the pub.  
>  
> “The application also misleadingly describes the building as ‘previously used as a public house’, despite it being currently closed only due to COVID-19, and with the CAMRA-supporting licensee being keen to re-open this community pub.”  
>  
> CAMRA spokesperson
