At present Pubs enjoy significant protection in the Planning System. The government plans to remove this for some pubs. It is proposing to use "High Street Rental Auctions" to bring disused commercial properties – including pubs – back into use, by letting Councils auction off a lease for between 1-5 years.
These leases would allow pubs to be converted to other uses, divided up into multiple units, or gutted of their bars, cellars or other integral features. Concerningly, there would be no obligation to reinstate the pubs fittings at the end of the lease – in fact developers would be able to apply to make the conversion permanent.
This would be a significant loss of protection for urban pubs, and CAMRA is calling for the Government to think again on these plans.

*** Update *** - Pubs can now sell alcohol provided its pre-ordered.
The new lockdown rules to be implemented from 5th November state that:-
"Hospitality venues like restaurants, bars and pubs must close, but can still provide takeaway and delivery services. However, takeaway of alcohol will not be allowed."
In previous lock downs offering alcohol for takeaway was a lifeline for many pubs, and particularly breweries. It is a baffling and damaging decision to remove this option, particularly when other businesses such as supermarkets can continue to sell takeaway alcohol. CAMRA has written to the goverment asking for this restriction to be removed. You can read the full text of this letter here:-
Concerned pub goers and beer drinkers in England can email their MP here:
https://camra.e-activist.com/page/68352/action/1
and ask for the removal of the takeaway restrictions, and for a proper support package for pubs and brewers to be implemented.
