Many parishioners will be very pleased to learn that, according to a letter to Parish Council Chairman Terry Edgcombe, dated 3rd August 2011, and pasted on the counter in Holywell Stores, Mr John Stevens has recently completed his purchase of the Pickwick Inn and wishes to proceed with its development to form a ‘gastro’ pub with an accompanying name change back to the Old Chapel Inn, in accord with SHDC’s planning approval.
I’m sure we all look forward to a speedy improvement in the appearance of the derelict building that currently greets visitors and residents as they enter the parish via this important route alongside the pub.
A secondary benefit will be the release of monies to support affordable housing within the South Hams under a Planning Obligation controlled by a so-called Section 106 agreement.
