A prominent and historic pub in a Nottinghamshire town could be turned into a shop and housing under new plans. The Dial, in Market Place, Mansfield could be transformed into a shop and flats, if the plans are approved by Mansfield District Council.
The Grade II Listed building was closed in December 2019 after a "period of poor trading", according to documents submitted by developers. Planning permission and listed building consent are being sought for the three-storey property to be converted into a ground floor commercial unit and two houses of multiple occupancy on the upper two floors.
The Georgian-era building has an asymmetrical arrangement of timber doors and windows along the front façade, but some internal and external changes would need to be made to complete the project. The applicant has said the conversion would "make better use of an otherwise underutilised building", which it said was at risk of "further deterioration" if left empty.
