White Hart pub could be part-demolished for apartments

If accepted, "existing modern additions" to the White Hart, on St Albans Road, would be removed before a two-storey side and rear extension is added.

The pub would be converted into six apartments, an existing outbuilding would be turned into a two-bedroom apartment and a detached two-bedroom dwelling would be constructed.

Four two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom apartments would be situated within the existing pub.

A planning statement included within the application reads: "The proposal comprises two components, firstly it seeks the redevelopment of a previously developed former public houses, and secondly it seeks the erection of an infill dwelling.

"The development would bring into use an underutilised parcel of land, which in its current form is not viable and the proposal would enable the redevelopment of a previously developed site.
