mrmw   10 #1 Posted May 19, 2015 anyone know whats happening with it?  Building work started over a year ago (if not more) and then ground to a halt and nothing has happened in months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #2 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I would expect you to be able to find the plans through the sheffield council planning portal if you google it. As to why work has stopped, they probably had to break ground or lose the planning permission, but didn't actually want to do anymore at this time. Or they went bust.  ---------- Post added 19-05-2015 at 13:18 ----------  Or they had no planning permission in the first place;  http://sheffielddemocracy.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s16242/Land%20at%20Middlewood%20Road%20North.pdf  ENFORCEMENT REPORT UNAUTHORISED EXCAVATION OF LAND, LAND OFF MIDDLEWOOD ROAD NORTH (AT THE REAR OF THE FORMER MIDDLEWOOD TAVERN, No.316) 1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this report is to inform Committee Members of a breach of planning control and to make recommendations on any further action required.  It seems, based on appearances, that the work is to form a new car park area in the field with an access roadway to it from the existing car park at the former pub. Contact with the owners has not been established and the actual purpose of the development is unknown.

waldershelf   10 #3 Posted May 19, 2015 So the tavern is now a "former pub" no chance of it reopening then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #4 Posted May 20, 2015 I don't think the report has any bearing on whether it could or could not reopen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

geared   268 #6 Posted May 20, 2015 Or they had no planning permission in the first place;  Lol, whoops.  I wonder if that will scupper any future chances of getting planning permission??  ---------- Post added 20-05-2015 at 12:00 ----------  So the tavern is now a "former pub" no chance of it reopening then.  It wasn't in a great place to be fair.  Not that it couldn't be done, and be successful again but it would be a big task.

Cyclone   10 #7 Posted May 20, 2015 The report says that it's greenbelt, so it's highly unlikely that it would ever have got permission (whatever it was they were doing).  I can't see why it would be a carpark though, what use would that be?  Redeveloping the pub itself should be possible though, since there's already a building.  ---------- Post added 20-05-2015 at 12:09 ----------  Wasnt it bought by Harios? (Same takeaway as in hillsborough) and was going to be a pub?  It WAS a pub though... What would the failed development work have been for?
