00:00An 18th century pub in Wakefield has been put up for sale, nine months after outline
00:06permission was granted for demolition. Plans were approved last May to bulldoze the Reindeer
00:11Inn at Overton and build up to five homes. Heritage groups objected, arguing the loss
00:18could set a precedent for historic buildings. National groups said it was marked on early
00:23maps of the area. The pub, dating back to 1704, is not listed but is described as having
00:29historic value. Agents say the site has consent for redevelopment and the business no longer
00:35trades. A planning report concluded the scheme would not cause substantial harm to the Greenbelt
00:42or nearby heritage assets.
