Meanwhile, Eddie Cross (right) has applied for a change of use permission, from a restaurant previously granted at Bardons Public House, for a bookmakers office.

He is also looking for permission to make minor alterations to the protected structure in the form of a window to be replaced by a door.

The application was lodged on 22 February and a decision is due by 18 April. The last date for submission on the application is 29 March.
