But the developer behind the scheme for The Old Chainyard in Coseley may need to amend its application to Dudley Council, after submitting data for a pub in Wiltshire instead.
An unnamed retailer – believed to be Asda – has applied to turn the pub in Castle Street, Coseley, into a grocery store.
But a planning statement issued by CPC Planning Consultants, in support of the application, confuses it with The Masons Arms – a pub in Wiltshire.
The proposals will see the pub extended at the rear to provide 3,634 sq ft of floorspace.
The pub has been run by Amanda Fisher for the past nine years, and has been praised by the Campaign for Real Ale in its Good Beer Guide.
