Residents and shoppers have shared their excitement after plans were unveiled to demolish part of a Mansfield nightclub in order to combine two Wetherspoons pubs and create a huge beer garden. Plans were approved last year to demolish the rear parts of the former QI nightclub, on Leeming Street, to make way for the combined facilities for the Stag and Pheasant and Widow Frost pubs.
Documents from the original application include plans to include around 200 outdoor seats along with a heated and covered area. The two Wetherspoon venues would then be combined to form one single pub, with the beer garden accessed via an altered Stag and Pheasant.
Now, residents have had their say over the demolition. Daniel Self, 49, who lives in Mansfield Woodhouse, said: "I think it's exciting! I'm more happy that something's being done with that nightclub to be honest, it's needed tearing down for years.
