One of Nottingham's oldest pubs is set to get a brand-new rooftop feature where pubgoers can socialise and relax. A fenced-off roof terrace for drinkers will soon be constructed at the centuries old Ye Olde Salutation Inn, in Hounds Gate, after Nottingham City Council gave permission for the project on November 11.
There will be an adaption of the existing roof to add a new metal staircase up to the new roof terrace, with a raised floor built over the existing flat roof of the Grade II Listed building. The property lays claim to being Nottingham's oldest licensed building dating back to 1240.
Previous plans for a roof terrace were put forward in 2019, before fresh plans were submitted earlier this year. The Civic Society raised concern regarding the proposal initially due to visibility of the proposed roof terrace from the surrounding area.
