PLANNING permission is being sought to convert a garage and function room at a pub into a retail unit.

The proposals have been submitted to Lichfield District Council for the Green Man Inn on Main Street in Clifton Campville.

A planning statement said the freehold owners believed the scheme would help secure the future of the 16th century grade two listed pub.

> “The Green Man has unfortunately suffered from a lack of investment in terms of maintenance and adjustment for modernisation that is required from a modern food and beverage establishment in order for it to achieve the expectations of customers and promote a demand suitable for sustaining it as a commercial entity.  
>  
> “In the last five years it has seen two operating businesses enter insolvency – on both occasions pre-pandemic – with the most recent operator closing.  
>  
> “The new freehold owners intend to reestablish the premises as a working pub that can return to playing its former part in the community.  
>  
> “In order to achieve this vision, there will need to be substantial investment and alterations.  
>  
> “Such alterations will involve a substantial investment and as such, consideration has been given to the development opportunity within the existing outbuildings, which consist of a garage, a function room and a bed-sit.  
>  
> “It is proposed that the function room and bed-sit will be converted into two rental bungalows and the garage converted into a retail premise, again with a further focus on sympathetic adaptions and retaining key features of historical interest.”
