Crooked House Pub to be Rebuilt: Council Orders Demolition Reversal
South Staffordshire Council has ordered ATE Farms Ltd to reconstruct the iconic Crooked House Pub after its controversial demolition. The pub's fate has sparked a heated debate about historic building protections and planning law reforms.
The Crooked House, renowned for its distinctive slanted architecture, was destroyed in August 2023 following a fire. Despite lacking planning permission or listed building consent, the pub was demolished just two days later. Six individuals were arrested by Leicestershire Police in connection with the incident and released on conditional bail.
The council has since recovered around 25,000 bricks from the site and stored them for potential use in the rebuild. An enforcement notice has been served, mandating that the pub be reconstructed to its original state within three years. However, ATE Farms Ltd has appealed this notice.
The Crooked House Pub's rebuild is now a contentious issue, with the council insisting on restoration and ATE Farms Ltd appealing the decision. The debate surrounding the pub's future continues, highlighting the need for stronger historic building protections and potential changes to planning laws.
