New bid to demolish former Rushden pub
Fresh plans to demolish a former Rushden pub and build a shops and offices on the site are among the planning applications recently submitted to North Northants Council.
Among the applications is the demolition of the existing building and the erection of three and two-storey buildings consisting of two retail, two offices and nine residential apartments with associated access, car parking, refuse storage and landscaping at 105 High Street, Rushden.
A previous application to replace the fire-damaged building with a new block of flats and shops failed last year.
The plans to demolish the former Feathers pub in Rushden and build a three-storey complex were rejected in 2024, and a planning inspector later upheld the council’s decision to refuse the proposed redevelopment.
The site has remained vacant since 2018 following the closure of the building’s last occupant, Fate nightclub.
A fire soon after left the structure heavily damaged and it remains fenced off from the public.
