Listed pub games room at The Feathers, 54 Cawston Road, Aylsham
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by South Norfolk Broadland Broadland Planning Committee on 5 Mar 2026.
What was proposed
Retrospective listed building consent was sought to convert an outbuilding into a games room and add a single-storey link to the public house.
“Applicant’s Name: Paul Reis Site Address The Feathers 54 Cawston Road Aylsham Norfolk NR11 6EB Proposal Conversion of outbuilding to games room with single storey connecting link (Retrospective)”
Officer report
The site
The public house is a Grade II listed building with front parking, no new access, and walking access to Aylsham town centre services.
“The existing pub is a Grade II listed building, semi-detached to another Grade II listed building, 52 Cawston Road, and the site is not within the Aylsham or Blickling Conservation Areas.”
“The site is located within the development boundary for Aylsham, benefitting from public footpaths and a short walking distance to the town centre services.”
Officer report
Planning history
The plans were reconsulted after being revised to reflect the single-storey link already erected at the rear of the public house.
“This application has had a reconsultation due to a revision in the plans reflecting the single storey link that had been erected to the rear of the public house, connecting the outbuilding to the host building via an internal walkway.”
