A disused former pub could be knocked down and replaced with a series of new homes if planners approve.
English Construction, based in Shrewsbury, has applied to Shropshire Council for permission to demolish the former Horse & Jockey pub, at the junction of Claypit and Church Street in Whitchurch.
It states:"English Construction purchased the site in 2007 after the pub had been closed by the previous owners, a pension company, as it had become unviable as a trading pub. Shropshire Council had issued a Section 25 notice to the owners in 2021 – the notice requires that landowners carry out repairs to buildings in a poor state.
"Hence the prospect of the pub re-opening and being financially viable is unrealistic and, indeed, having had the potential noise and disturbance removed for 15 years may now not be welcomed by local residents."
