The Bull's Head closed in 2020 and plans to convert it to a micro brewery were not successful
By Greig Watson & Eddie Bisknell LDRSA historic Derbyshire building's life as a pub has formally come to an end after more than 200 years.
The Bulls Head in Little Hallam Hill, Ilkeston, has been in business since the 18th Century but closed in January 2020.But a government planning inspector has ruled in favour of a developer who had appealed the council's decision.The Local Democracy Reporting Service said the application had been refused by the council because of the building's designation as an asset of community value.
No serious interest had been lodged, the report added, including from the Bulls Head Community Group, to retain the building as a pub, so the plans should be approved. Steve Birkinshaw, the council's head of planning, said: "To allow the asset of community value process to operate effectively, planning decisions on alternative uses should ideally be deferred until the asset of community value process has been exhausted.
"However, government targets on timeliness and the right to appeal against non-determination of planning applications may not always support that approach."
