A planning application has been submitted by a pub in the Nottinghamshire's most expensive village. The plans submitted by The Martin's Arms in School Lane, Colston Bassett propose the demolition of an existing outbuilding and the construction of a single storey side extension to the pub.
This extension would form a new bakehouse and staff changing room for the pub. The application has been submitted to Rushcliffe Borough Council and planning officials at the local authority will consider the proposals. Some work was already carried out in February 2020 before the pandemic, which was started under previous approvals.
The pub is well known for being a traditional English pub, and is the winner of the Nottinghamshire Dining Pub of the Year for 2012 to 2021. Owner of The Martin's Arms, Lynne Brian, said: "We are trying to do a second kitchen in the back part, which will be a prep kitchen because we need the overflow space really."
