Housing plan for pub site approved (From Oxford Mail)
A DIDCOT pub is set to be replaced by houses despite complaints it will leave some residents without a local watering hole.
South Oxfordshire District Council this week approved brewer Greene King’s application for planning permission to demolish the Waterwitch in Cockcroft Road and build eight terraced homes in the site.
The 45-year-old pub could close within months. The brewery said it was “unviable” as a business.
Councillors approved the plan after a planning officer’s report said other pubs, including the Crown and Royal Oak, were within half-a-mile.
Didcot Town Council had criticised the plan. In a letter to the committee it said: “The closest pubs are not within walking distance for the elderly or physically impaired.
“The location is not a town centre site and the density is not appropriate. It is overdevelopment.”
