Council homes are set to replace a pub with a 'chequered history' after its demolition. Plans for new council housing on the site of the Inham Nook pub, in Inham Road, Chilwell, have been recommended for approval ahead of Broxtowe Borough Council's planning committee meeting on September 7.
The development would see 15 new buildings - 12 houses and three apartments - as well as parking and a small park. Initial plans to demolish the pub and council garages were given the green light in March.
The land is owned by the borough council and all properties would be so-called affordable housing, to be rented out at an affordable price. Previously described as a "rough" pub, it had struggled financially over the years and has had 14 tenants in the last 10 years, with one local councillor saying it was "a pub with a chequered history".
