It was once saved from closure after a campaign from people living nearby
A community pub once saved from closure by a campaign run by locals could again be at risk of being developed into housing. The Three Lions pub, in Netherfield Lane, Meden Vale, was protected against new plans in 2021 after a drive led to it being listed as an ‘asset of community value’.
The applicant, Shape Land and Property Ltd, said at the time the pub would instead be demolished in favour of 41 affordable rental and rent-to-buy homes. This would be split between 28 one-bedroom apartments, one two-bedroom bungalow, and seven two-bed and five three-bedroom houses. The plans were also described as “not in keeping” with the surrounding area, including proposed apartments, with other concerns including anti-social behaviour and crime. However, in reports, the applicant says it conducted its own viability assessment for the former pub.
