Yes, the pub is currently closed, but nothing has happened to it yet since closure, not even a planning application for change of use (although the new owner has made it clear that this is his intention). As the Wroxton website editor said a few posts ago, it may well be that he's calculating that opposition will dissipate over time, so is waiting a while before making the application. |
