A pub chain in Leamington has submitted plans for repairs including the removal of its 'existing asbestos roof'.

If approved, the plans will see The Benjamin Satchwell, located on Parade, undergo several changes, including repairs to the current roof and existing bar, kitchen and inside seating area.

The planning application states: "The proposed works at The Benjamin Satchwell Pub are: '"sensitive and proportionate, "focused on repair", "maintenance, and operational improvement" and "designed to preserve the building's architectural and historic significance.

"The proposals will secure the continued viable use of the building while safeguarding its heritage value. As such, the development is considered to be fully compliant with heritage policy and suitable for approval."

Changes to the inside seating area of the pub include the installation of 'six new Mitsubishi ceiling-mounted cassette units within the customer areas alongside the existing ceiling ventilation system.'

Other upgrades include ceiling works and roof works inside the pub.

In terms of the bar, minor upgrades are planned for the existing dispense system, including upgrading three existing nine-out Tbars to 13-out T-bars.
