A pub owner has warned the fencing off of a footpath for a new retail park could lead to the closure of their business. The Plough Inn on Church Street, Warsop, would not be able to operate if the existing unregistered right of way between Burns Lane and Church Street was fenced off as part of the redevelopment of the vacant Strand cinema, according to its owner's objection to the plans.
The pub's owner has filed an objection to the plans, citing land ownership and access issues. They stated the fencing off of the footpath would stop access to their delivery yard, resulting in the pub's closure.In response to the objection from the owner of the pub, applicant ARBA Developments argued the approved scheme shows no restriction between the Plough Inn and the site boundary, with access for maintenance to still be provided.
