PLANS to convert a former pub for residential use have been approved.

The proposals for the Black Horse Inn on Main Road in Edingale said that the pub had been shut for a number of years as a result of "dwindling users, a pandemic, health issues and a change in attitudes to drinking".

The planning statement added that the prospect of using the site as a pub in future were slim:

> "The applicant has marketed the property for continued use as a public house, but was  
> unsuccessful in selling it.  
>  
> "Property agents marketed the site for a 12-month period on a freehold basis. Over the period, only four viewings were conducted, with no parties interested in making an offer. The key concern is the condition of the building and the availability of other public houses, both vacant and in other locations."
