Save Our Star
We ask East Hampshire District Council to reject planning application 27431/031, and to prevent any future change of use of The Star Inn, Bentworth.
Why is this important?
For over a century, the Star Inn has been at the physical and social heart of Bentworth. A thriving and successful pub under its long-term tenants, the pub was voluntarily closed by the owner after many years of neglect and under-investment. The owner has declined offers from purchasers seeking to keep it as a pub, and now wishes to redevelop it for residential purposes. This is one of the best-located pubs in North East Hampshire, and one which could be a successful business serving the community which has registered it as an Asset of Community Value.
