The Famous Punch Bowl, Warwick, is under threat.
Grant Asset of Community Value (ACV) status to all Warwick Public Houses with immediate effect & particularly those under immediate threat:
The Famous Punch Bowel, 1 The Butts, Warwick.
The Antelope Inn, Saltisford, Warwick.
Warwick's history is well documented & records the town's evolution over hundreds of years. Much of its history is based around it's Castle, County Town, and traditional importance as a market town, County Town with Crown Courts, etc.
The town is growing in population with thousands of new houses & increasing visitor numbers.
Protect all Warwick's pubs with Acts.

We must cater for visitors & residents and maintain & protect our heritage.

LOSS OF THE PUNCH BOWL

Although this Facebook group was created for the exchange of information about the history of pubs that once served Warwick but no longer exist, it might provide a useful space to help prevent another Warwick pub joining the ‘Lost List’.
As already reported, planning permission to convert the Punch Bowl into a single private dwelling has been sought - by Graham Beamish Architect, Lenchwick, Worcestershire on behalf of Secret Properties Limited, Leamington.
Although planning permission has been sought, it could be denied. Permission is, in general, considered and ‘dealt with’ by the planning office staff. However, if sufficient objections are raised, the application will be considered by the planning committee of the District Council. If you object to the loss of this pub, please complete the form at https://planningdocuments.warwickdc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=_WARWI_DCAPR_88306.
Refusal of permission can only be achieved by collective action - all objections submitted on this form are good and will highlight our concern. My reasons for retaining the Punch Bowl (and feel free to use any/all of them as you wish) will be focused on:
1. It is an asset to the community (often used for the social, well-being or social interests of the local community).
2. Unique to Warwick as it is the only regular music venue.
3. One of the very few pubs in Warwick providing room for social engagements e.g. wedding receptions.
4. One of the very few independent Warwick pubs - unattached to any large brewery.
If there is sufficient interest in opposing Planning Application, it would be a good idea to start a Facebook Group for Saving the Punch Bowl. If there is any interest in forming a syndicate to buy the pub, that could also be organised through the new Facebook Group
