Working to Purchase and Restore The Henry Jenkins Pub for the Local Community
HENRY NEEDS YOU!!
Once again, the Owner of Henry Jenkins has lodged a planning application to convert one of the outhouses into a holiday let!
This is very similar to the previous application, which was rejected, but we cannot afford to be complacent, as if granted, the application would remove most of the car park, render the pub landlocked, and make parking and deliveries very difficult.
Given the planning permission for the eastern part of the pub, granted in 2020 has yet see any signs of development taking place, we can only assume that this is another tactic in his mission to render the Henry Jenkins unviable as a pub forever.
With only 48hours until the deadline for the planning objections – you know what to do!!! Get objecting everyone!
