The plans outline five new apartments on the ground floor of the former pub

Plans have been submitted to convert a historic pub in Devon into homes.

The Haulfryn Group wants to develop The Blagdon Inn, a 15th Century former pub located within the Devon Hills holiday park in Torquay, into apartments.

The planning application stated the pub and restaurant had lost £250,000 in 2023 and the same again in 2024, leading to the decision to close it, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.

If permitted, the plan would see five new apartments created on the ground floor to go with the two already in existence on the first floor.

The applicants said there would be "minimal" alterations to the outside of the building.
