Campaigners try to save 200-year-old pub from development

Campaigners in South Walsham are urging planners to save a 200-year-old pub from being turned into a house.

The ship Inn closed in 2020. The owners want to change its use to residential.

A community group says losing the pub would damage village life and claims it's been marketed at too high a price for potential buyers.

But planning officers say the pub is no longer viable and have recommended approval of the bid.
