    Paul, thanks for looking into it but your reply highlights why residents are totally fed up with planning.

    The original scheme approved in 2010 was for four houses to be built on the garden, which required half of the pub to be knocked down to improve the sight-line (ignoring the fact that it had been quite adequate for 100 years or more for customers, deliveries and the resident landlords with no problem).

    Because of the high number of objections by the parish council and residents, both in the normal period, at the site meeting when over 30 attended, and at the planning meeting, the committee recognised the desire of the community for the pub to be maintained and set the conditions that it should be open again before the houses could be occupied.

    If a later committee can completely ignore this condition then what's the point of having them, you might as well just let the developers do what they want.
