We are the landlords for the House in the Tree Pub, living on site for 12 years with a further lease for 9 years at the property. The pub is a hub for the local community to enjoy for the whole family, including a mini football pitch, animal petting area & childrens play area with further enhancements to the pub currently being worked on. We pride ourselves on being family friendly, having traditional features & using local produce. The lack of information coming from all parties concerned regarding the scheme is most concerning for the impact this will have on our business & to the community, the parties have not engaged with us directly in any detail or made any offers or negotiations to agree voluntary arrangements that would avoid the need to use compulsory purchase order powers. We have no time scale of when the works will be carried out, what it will entail to the day to day operation of our Pub, we have asked for any works relating to our garden area to be done in the winter months to minimise disruption, car parking spaces will also be affected and there are no additional parking facilities in the area where people can park and walk into us. We kindly ask for further correspondence with regards to time scales that will affect our business to be given as requested.
