A pub owner has warned the fencing off of a footpath for a new retail park could lead to the closure of their business. The Plough Inn on Church Street, Warsop, would not be able to operate if the existing unregistered right of way between Burns Lane and Church Street was fenced off as part of the redevelopment of the vacant Strand cinema, according to its owner's objection to the plans.
Planning permission was granted in 2019 for the demolition of former Strand cinema, with the building to be replaced by a new retail or leisure park. The approved layout for this development includes a pedestrian access through the site from Burns Lane to Church Street.
The pub's owner has filed an objection to the plans, citing land ownership and access issues. They stated the fencing off of the footpath would stop access to their delivery yard, resulting in the pub's closure.
