The new owners of The Crown pub , which is closed on the back of the " slow - to - ripen " new Menta Morello development in Coventry , have submitted a planning application to demolish the building . And the main thrust of the policy – that the building will need to be marketed for 18 months and to have been considered against the Public House Viability Test, as laid out by the Campaign for Real Ale, will not change. Addiscombe councillors and residents trying to rescue the pub , are hoping the council ’s Policy Paper : Protecting public houses , will give them more space or at least enough to stop the demolition . At least one London - based pub owner is said to be interested .
