Local pubs under threat:

• We are keeping an eye on the Brandy Cask in Pershore
  • Planning applications to convert the Good Beer Guide listed and Grade II listed Brandy Cask pub and brewery to 8 senior citizen flats were submitted in Feb 2007 and July 2007
  • The applications came before the Wychavon Development Control Committee on 23 August 2007 and the results were: the application for change of use was REFUSED; the application for Listed Building Consent was APPROVED. A report of the Committee meeting from the Evesham Journal can be found here. The minutes of the Committee Meeting (PDF 103Kb - see page 171) can be found here.
