Plans have been put forward for a vacant Nottinghamshire pub which Starbucks had considered taking over. The Pheasant Inn in Mansfield, which has been empty for years, could be revamped as part of plans to have a new business set up in the building.
Under the proposals, submitted to Mansfield District Council, the first and second floor would be turned into three one-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment. The site is not in a conservation area and the pub is not a listed building, but the applicant behind the project said minimal external changes would be made.
The site has been empty due little or no interest from investors according to planning documents, and as such the owner wants to upgrade the interior and get the site back in use. The owner tried to market the building after the pub's closure, but said the only interest was from Starbucks in 2021, which never amounted to anything.
