Famous Arnold boozer The Robin Hood & Little John pub could be getting a new rooftop terrace if plans are approved by Gedling Borough Council.
An application has been submitted by John Dixon & Associates on behalf of Everards Brewery to form a new roof terrace.
A submitted design and access statement prepared by JDA Project Management advises that the premises has been a very popular community pub over the last 10 years since the premises was purchased by Everards Brewery and has been carefully restored and refurbished.
The statement continues to state that an external terrace area has been
proposed by Everards along with their partner Lincoln Green Brewery. The terrace area will provide additional drinking area helping the business to maintain commercial sustainability for the long term
The proposed new terraced area will be formed over the existing covered seating area. The existing flat roof will be re-covered and the terrace constructed independently over the top of the roof using a steel frame.
The proposed terrace is to be traditional in design with a 1.8m high stained timber fence to three sides and the courtyard elevation is to have a decorative 1.1m high black balustrading. The terrace will to be illuminated with festoon lighting on metal poles.
A new metal staircase is to be formed to access the terraced area from the courtyard area.
The premises will see no change in use as the premises will continue to
operate as a public house with the proposed alterations designed to extend the community pub feel, attracting all ages and offering a varied range of real ales brewed by Everards and Lincoln Brewery.
