Planning permission has been granted for the Rose & Crown pub in St Albans, moving one step closer to its long-awaited reopening.
The 16th-century pub closed its doors in 2020 and has been sat empty and boarded up ever since.
Approved on Tuesday, October 1, the permission allows for “alternation and restoration work to the pub, reinstatement of the original terraced cottage as a separate dwelling with single storey rear extension, installation of roof light and associated amenity space, change of use and extension of outbuilding to be used as studio work space, installation of roof lights of outbuilding and landscaping works at The Rose And Crown”.
Simon Knight Architects, who designed the planning proposal and who will oversee the project, posted on Facebook: “We are delighted to announce that we have received planning consent for our scheme at the Rose & Crown pub in St Albans.
“This has been a long process but the consent means that the pub will reopen and be part of a mixed-use scheme that will be financially more sustainable in the long term.
It will bring to the community new workspaces and a vibrant pub with decent residential accommodation.”
