Plans to build a new ‘holiday home’ with a garden at a village pub have been submitted to the council. 

Punch Partnerships (PML) Limited has submitted to Bucks Council a planning application for The Squirrel pub, on Penn Street, in Amersham.

Plans detail the ‘erection of a single-storey two-bed dwelling for use as a holiday let’, with an internal floorspace of 73 sqm, opposite the Common and cricket ground.
