It is a private property - but a Grade II listed building. 

It is considered the proposed development "would not compromise the setting of the Court House or the Carriage House, the gardens or the wider character of the village".

The application adds: "These proposals to be appropriate and without harm. They will not affect the heritage significance of the setting or the landscape character. The scheme demonstrates the new pavilion and pool will enhance the grounds of the Court House and the conservation area."

BIDDESTONE: Biddestone Developments wants to demolish an old pub and build a house in its place. 

The application site forms part of existing planning permission for the conversion and part demolition of The Biddestone Arms to form one house and the erection of three new ones.

The application proposal has been formulated following post-application discussions with the project engineers who have raised "significant structural and design issues with the permitted partial demolition and re-build".

Following consultation with the heritage consultant, neighbours and the parish council, the applicant has concluded that the best way to proceed is to completely demolish the pub and replace it with a with new build dwelling virtually identical to that approved under the existing planning permission.
