Davyhulme's Moss Vale Hotel is under attack from vandals and faces demolition for shop and drive-thru
Plans have been submitted to demolish a large pub which has been vacant for a year and become the target of vandalism, break-ins and anti-social behaviour in Davyhulme.
Pub company Punch has submitted the application to bulldoze the Moss Vale Hotel on Lostock Road, which according planning documents has been up for sale at a price of £755,000.
The Moss Vale ceased trading due to escalating costs on September 30 2024. It is hoped the demolition will make way for a convenience store and drive-thru restaurant.
“Since this closure, the building has fallen into a state that would require significant capital investment to bring it back up to operational standard,” a Punch report says.
“A large contribution factor to its current state is the numerous break-uns, vandalism and anti-social behaviour, despite Punch’s best efforts to secure the property.”
Proposals now include the store, a drive-thru restaurant with access for cars and cycle parking, as well as EV charging points and landscaping.
The area is mostly residential but opposite the site is Kingsway Primary School, Egerton High School, a church, a series of community buildings and a BeActive fitness centre.
“The proposal is located within the established urban area of Urmston, outside a defined town centre, near the busy M60, south of the Trafford Park Industrial Estate,” planning documents say. “The area benefits from close proximity to central Manchester with connections to Liverpool and Sheffield.”
