Neighbours have shared their sadness at the state of a derelict pub which could soon receive a new lease of life. The Duke of Newcastle pub on Whitemoor Road, Basford would be converted to a ground floor retail unit and three self-contained flats, if new proposals are approved.
The creation of these three one-bedroom flats, according to a planning document, would require a single storey side extension and new dormers on the roof. The current layout provides six car spaces, and the new designs would retain these.
Dial Singh, the applicant for the new plans, also owns the Kheras Store Lifestyle Express over the road. "I believe retail would be the best [for the building] but this is a long process," he said.
