Warwick's Wetherspoon has once again applied for permission to keep its outdoor seating area.

The Thomas Lloyd in Market Place had a similar application approved by Warwick District Council in 2024, allowing the pub to keep its town centre seating for two years.

New laws on pavement licences were brought into effect in the summer of 2020 to make it easier for businesses to apply for permission to put furniture outside during the pandemic.

According to the plans, the Market Place pub's 108 chairs and 27 tables would be available from 8am to 11pm seven days per week.

This is an hour earlier each day than the previous application.

Again, the Thomas Lloyd is asking for permission for the chairs for two years.

The Market Place pub is named after Victorian philanthropist Thomas Lloyd who lived in Warwick for 35 years until his death in 1890.

The building is a former bank, owned by Lloyd's family. Having changed hands between various banks over the following century, it was turned into a pub in 1998, becoming Lloyds No.1 bar.
