The Roscoe Head achieves further protection for another 5 years
It’s nice to hear some good news for a change in these strange old times and it gives me great pleasure to announce that The Roscoe Head’s application to continue as an “Asset of Community Value” (ACV) has been confirmed by Liverpool City Council as being “approved”. As the current approval does not expire until 7 September 2020 the council will not be able to officially amend their Community Assets List but we look forward to seeing that change being made in due course.
This gives the Roscoe Head some additional planning protection as now the Planning Authority have to take note of the fact that an ACV is in place, if a planning application is submitted for a change of use or for demolition of the property. It also allows time for any community group to submit a bid to purchase the pub if it comes up for sale.
So a big thank you, from Liverpool & Districts CAMRA Branch, to everyone who contributed, the 65 supporters who signed up to be the “Save The Roscoe Head 2020 Group” and for Liverpool City Council for processing the application in time for it to give continuity to the existing ACV .
