A new scheme to redevelop the former Bulls Head is set for approval
A 200-year-old former Derbyshire pub is set to be turned into a convenience store and flats after years in limbo, including it ceasing to serve as a community watering hole. The plans, submitted by an applicant which has been entirely redacted from papers submitted to Erewash Borough Council , would see the former Bulls Head pub in Little Hallam Hill, Ilkeston , turned into a shop and five flats.
Borough councillors had rejected the scheme because of the building’s designation as an asset of community value – having operated as a pub since the late 17th century. Government planning inspector TJ Burnham found the former pub had been marketed for potential use as a micropub but with no interest registered from prospective buyers, so could cease its long-term use.
They write that use of the shop would be limited to 6am to 10pm opening hours in order to protect the amenity of surrounding residents, and that 15 parking spaces would be created on the site. In a report to be discussed next week they write: “It is considered that the retail proposals would not cause an unacceptable harm on residential amenity for the flats.
