Plans to transform a 'rough' former pub into a set of flats have been welcomed by people in a Nottinghamshire town. The Yew Tree, in Hucknall, closed in February and it is hoped nine flats will take its place.
Proposals for the project were put forward by LGG Global Limited and the firm says the development should 'support the transition to a low carbon future in a changing climate'. Among those welcoming the plans was sales assistant Elle Jared, 28, who lives in the town.
She said: "It’s not the prettiest sight. If I lived on Beardall, I would be a bit concerned about new flats because of the parking but at the same time, I’d be happy not to have this [the pub] plonked at the end of my street.”
