Latest Update October 2024: A third change of use application has been submitted for The New Clarence. Details can be found on the planning portal under reference 2400892FULL. Details of the Hull Community Pub Society objections to the propsals will be posted here shortly.
September 2024 update: The latest application for The New Clarence to turn into a 20 bed HMO with reduced pub facilities on the ground floor has been refused by the Planning Committee. We still await the outcome of the appeal for it to be a 29 bedromm HMO from last year and an appeal against the ACV status of the building.

What we are about
We are a group of people from Hull and the surrounding area who are concerned about the rate at which our local pubs are closing. It started off being about just saving The New Clarence but we now want to achieve something for the whole city. Creating a place where individuals and groups can relax and enjoy good food, drinks and music with space for Community groups to meet.
Why The New Clarence should and can be Hull's first Community owned and run pub:
- The New Clarence is the only pub classified as an Asset of Community Value in the city. Its city centre location, wide range of facilities and accessibility make it a great community space.
- The owners of the building offered to sell it to the community and we have now made them a generous offer.
- If the owners decide to sell it to us The New Clarence will be run as a co-operative, everyone with a share gets a say in how the pub is run.
