Plans for former pub in Warwick withdrawn

The plans would have seen the former Great Western pub in Coventry Road completely demolished and four houses put on the site.

The pub is currently in a damaged condition following a fire last August.

Developer P&P Properties submitted the plans in May but withdrew the application on August 23.

The developer has previously submitted two planning applications for the pub – both in 2016. The first was submitted in March 2016 for a change of use to residential accommodation and to convert the building into flats as well as construction of four houses.

This application was refused by Warwick District Council’s planning committee because the design of the houses was not in keeping with the area and there was no outdoor amenity space for future residents.

The second plan was submitted in June 2016, again for change of use to create flats and build four houses. This plan was granted planning permission.

Because of securing permission in 2016, four houses are already set to go along Station Road and the new plans, which have now been withdrawn, would have seen an additional four houses on the Coventry Road side, where the pub now stands.
