New plan to demolish Coventry pub for flats

[dutchman]

The pub has been empty for years



A pub in Coventry could be bulldozed for new apartments. Plans to knock down the New Haven on Dillotford Avenue were validated by the council yesterday, 2 October.

The pub in Cheylesmore has been empty for four years, planning documents reveal. "Efforts to sell the building as a public house have been unsucessful," a statement added.

The venue would be replaced with 31 one-bedroom flats across an L-shaped building three storeys high at the tallest point. The apartments would be aimed at young people moving into their first home and older people who are downsizing, plans say.

Most of the flats would be "market housing" but eight would be available at affordable rents. The development would have 38 car parking and 32 cycle spaces.

More details on the scheme can be found on the council's planning portal via reference: PL/2024/0001282/FULM.
