Historic disused market pub could get new lease of life

However, a new planning application submitted to Mansfield District Council wants to turn the site into a commercial space with expanded accommodation above. Maun River Developments Ltd has lodged the plans, saying the new scheme would include a commercial unit in the old pub and two floors of housing.

But the applicant says its new plans will make “better use of an underutilised building that is at risk of further deterioration”. Most of the ground floor, currently occupied by the bar, would be a commercial unit, entrance lobbies and bin and bike stores. Each HMO would have kitchen and dining facilities, with the six-bed HMO featuring two kitchens, and most rooms would have en-suite bathrooms. The HMOs would be accessed separately but would share the ground-floor bin and cycle storage facilities.

“[This is] alongside an improved supply and diversity of residential accommodation options through the use of the upper floors.”
