Neighbours have been saddened by the potential for a local pub to become flats. The Colonel Burnaby pub on Hartley Road, Radford would be converted with the addition of a three-storey rear extension and third floor roof extension into 24 studio flats, if new plans are approved by Nottingham City Council.
The Colonel Burnaby has been closed since 2021, when it shutdown during the Covid pandemic. The proposal seeks to construct a rear four-storey extension with an under croft providing one visitor parking space, and a secure bin/cycles store area accessed off Denison Street.
Locals were saddened by the potential loss of the pub, and questioned who would live in the new flats. Robert Bachelor, 65, a musician from Hyson Green said: "It's always another takeaway or flats. I feel like it is taking away from the city's character.
