The owners of The Elizabethan in Woodside applied for permission to extend the building earlier this year. 

Plans included increasing the size of the lounge and bar area for a "new restaurant venture" and an extension to the rear of the building to form a takeaway unit.

The application said the pub had "suffered a loss of trade" since the Covid-19 pandemic and the new owners wished to provide additional facilities to give it a boost.
