An application to change the use of a former pub into a home has been submitted. 

The Queen's Head, in Erwarton, near Ipswich, has been closed since 2009. 

The proposal which has been submitted to Babergh and Mid Suffolk Council states that no external or internal works will take place to the Grade II listed building. 

The planning application also states that a 12 month long marketing campaign was carried out to see if any possible retention for the site could be found. 

Plans to convert the pub into a private dwelling were met with a storm of protest in 2019. 

A member of Save the Erwaton Queen who object to the most recent application said: "This is our pub. We don’t want to lose it.

"This is our village and our pub. We care about it and do not want to lose the chance to have it reopen."
