North Yorkshire Council planning officers have recommended rejecting the owner's request to change the use of Horseshoe Inn to a residential property. The pub has been on the market for 15 months with no viewings or offers. The owner decided to close the pub due to limited trade and difficulties in the hospitality trade.
