Pub asks for permission to keep teepee for events
A pub near Stafford is hoping to keep an events space under canvas open for larger functions.
Retrospective planning permission is being sought for a teepee at the Seven Stars on Cannock Road, Bednall.
A design and access statement submitted as part of the application to South Staffordshire Council said: “The applicant erected the teepee in the summer of 2021 to meet a very specific demand but was under the impression at the time that it did not require planning permission as it is a temporary structure.
"The proposals involve the retention of the previously erected canvas and timber teepee together with attendant service compound and space heater.
“The property is an established destination restaurant and pub but, in an effort to increase the viability of the business, the applicant was looking to add a facility whereby larger functions could be held as the internal arrangement does not lend itself to such events.
"The site is a small area of the extensive garden space, close to the existing large storage shed.
“The teepee, on plan, makes very little impact on the site given the amount of space available and although its summit is relatively high (around 7.3m), the bulk of the structure is concealed well behind existing fences and hedges.
"There are no immediate neighbours in any direction with the property largely surrounded by agricultural land and to the immediate west boundary by a local telephone exchange.”
