A Sheffield pub has announced its sudden closure. The Earl Marshal, located on East Bank Road, shut its doors effective immediately following a surprise update from management.
The venue is owned by the national hospitality operator Stonegate, which is the same company behind familiar chains such as Slug and Lettuce and Walkabout. Taking to Facebook to share the news of the closure, the local management team cited unforeseen circumstances as the reason behind the decision.
In the brief social media post, the pub's team informed patrons that Stonegate had decided to close the site for the foreseeable future. They offered their apologies to locals and thanked their customers for their continued support. The statement ended with the team expressing hope that the underlying issue would be rectified as soon as possible.
Sheffield Council's planning officers have given the green light to plans for the construction of new homes on the former overflow car park of a prominent pub located on East Bank Road.
The proposal entails the development of five new houses adjacent to The Earl Marshall pub, utilising a "relatively flat" 0.2-hectare parcel of land that previously functioned as overflow parking for the establishment.
Outlined in the planning documentation presented by the applicant, Stonegate Group, the approved project comprises two two-bedroom, two-storey semi-detached homes, and three three-bedroom, two-storey detached houses. Access to the development will be facilitated through an adapted vehicular access point from East Bank Road.
Notably, due to the project's scale falling below the threshold of ten homes, there is no provision for affordable housing within the development.
In their submission, the applicants emphasised the project's potential to address housing needs in Sheffield by utilising a naturally available "infill" site, further asserting its viability for short-term implementation.
While recommending approval, the planning officer highlighted potential concerns regarding noise emanating from both the adjacent road and pub. Accordingly, further details outlining measures to mitigate such concerns will be required.
Specific details regarding the architectural design of the houses and additional mitigation strategies will be submitted to planners for consideration in the near future.
