Planning sought to change Carnival pub into retail unit

Heron and Brearley has applied for approval to change the use of Carnival on Strand Street and to remove the building's classification as a public house. 

 

The venue - which was formally home to Rendezvous and Strand 58 - was opened as Carnival in 2013 but put up for sale last year. 

 

Heron and Brearley marketed the pub, asking for offers in the region of over £1 million, before the planning application was submitted - it's currently pending consideration.
