Carbrook Hall

Posted on 9 Oct 201812 Oct 2018 by Dominic Nelson

Since the last edition of Beer Matters went to print, a planning application to alter Carbrook Hall into a drive-through Starbucks has been submitted to Sheffield City Council (reference: 18/03366/LBC – tinyurl.com/y979vlhd).

We are pleased to note that:

(i) over 18 months after Carbrook Hall was closed as a Public House, a detailed planning application has finally been submitted.

(ii) the Jacobean-panelled old oak room is planned to become “a seating area with minimal refurbishment other than the removal of modern additions”.

Therefore, we assume that no change to the historic interior will occur. Hence, we also assume that the building will remain listed as an extremely significant Grade II*. However, if this planning application is approved, including the change in use class, it will mean the removal of Carbrook Hall from any/all inventories of historic pub interiors.

For this reason we have objected to the application and propose instead a change to A4/A3 mixed use class, with the retention of a small bar and bar area for drinkers/non-diners. This would ensure continued inclusion on pub listings. It would also allow more flexibility for the owner and managers of the building as use of the site continues to evolve.

One thought on “Carbrook Hall”

  1. Dave Pickersgill says:
    28 Nov 2018 at 4:26pm

    In late November, Sheffield City Council granted planning permission, subject to conditions, for Carbrook Hall to be converted from a public house (Use Class A4) to a restaurant/cafe (Use Class A3) including demolition of an existing garage and store/toilets and the erection of a single-storey extension, external alterations including building signs, provision of an outdoor seating area, drive-thru facility, associated access, car parking and landscaping.

    Conditions are imposed in the interests of preserving the special character of the listed building. These include (i) a method statement for removing, storing and replacing panelling in the ground
    floor Oak room and the first floor Panelled room in order to carry out damp treatment works
    and (ii) repainting of decorative plaster work in the Oak Room and the first floor panelled
    room.

    In addition, the applicant (West Street Leisure) is strongly encouraged to allow public access to the upstairs of the building, if technically feasible, by participating in the Sheffield Heritage Open
    Days programme.

    Hence, another of the old pubs of Sheffield is to become a drive-through Starbucks. The historic Jacobean interior should remain.

    – Dave Pickersgill
