After many years again being left derelict for the second or third occasion after its closure as a public house and restaurant.
‘I/we’ StreetPriders cleared the area up many years ago when I was chairman to stop it being an eyesore coming into Whittlesey.
In this recent case of unoccupancy and becoming derelict – no one cared enough to take up the challenge (why should they) – private land…
The owner of a former riverside pub near Peterborough has been granted permission to convert it into a family home.
Quaffins Ltd applied to Peterborough City Council for planning permission in December 2024 to change the use of the Dog In A Doublet pub on North Bank in Thorney.
Plans for the building, which were approved by city council planners on October 21 this year, will see the empty property transformed into a private five-bedroom home.
According to planning documents, the scale of the building will be reduced through demolition, with the rear demolition work taking the building back to what it was like before it was extended in the late 1970’s.
A planning statement reads: “Due to viability the owners of the building are unable to let it out to a new landlord to continue running it as a public house.
“Also, the manner in which the building was vacated has meant that the building is no longer fit for purpose without significant work.”
