Dear Andrew Lewis,
I am writing to object to the application for change of use of the
Bishop Blaize, Burdrop.
I believe that allowing an application like this to
go ahead would be a real loss to the community. The Bishop Blaize has been a
thriving pub in recent years, and one failed attempt to run the business should
not be a reason to give up on such a fantastic amenity.
The current owners
have not tried, since the closure to run the pub as a business, and as I
understand do not want to sell. IF they are not prepared to sell the pub, and
are also not prepared to run it as a pub, then they are not fulfilling the role
that you take on if you take on a business such as this. A pub is a home and way
of life to the owner, but the pub belongs as an amenity to the village.
The
closure of this pub will not only affect the immediate community of the
SIbfords and Burdrop, but will also affect a wider community, as it was a
business that attracted many people from the local area and beyond.
I truly believe that allowing change of use for The
Bishop Blaize would be a real loss, as pubs like this are few and far
between.
Yours Sincerly
