Fined for pub change
A couple who turned their pub into a house without permission have been ordered to pay £17,000, Cherwell District Council said yesterday.
The council said Jacqueline and Geoffrey Noquet submitted seven planning permission requests to change the Bishop Endpub in Burdrop, near Banbury, into a home, which were all refused.
They were found guilty on Monday at Oxford Magistrates’ Court of failing to comply with an enforcement notice, told to pay £8,527.50 each and given a 12 month conditional discharge.
