Former pub in south Essex High Street set to re-open as plans given go-ahead
Plans have been given the green light to change the use of the old O'Neill's pub in Brentwood High Street, which closed in December 2022.
The plans do not include any external alterations to the building, but they do say the restaurant would be across two floors.
Planning documents also show a range of seating for well over 100 guests, including tables and booths, and at least two bars.

The council raised no concerns about the impact on the conservation area and the former pub's neighbours. The council officer's report states: 'In relation to the change of use, at present the unit is vacant and it is considered that the proposed use would make a positive contribution to the viability and vitality of the area.
'The application site is over three floors, and the existing kitchen is located on both the ground and first floor levels. The environmental health officer has raised no concern about the proposed use of the building (…) as this would not result in harm in terms of noise, odour or general disturbance to the surrounding neighbouring buildings.
'The proposal would not have a harmful impact on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers by way of overlooking, overbearing effect or lack of privacy and would comply with the Brentwood Local Plan.'

UK growth slows in second quarter but comes in higher than expected
LONDON (AP) — Britain's economy slowed down during the second quarter of the year in the face of higher taxes on businesses and global tariff uncertainties, but growth came in higher than anticipated, official figures showed Thursday. The Office for National Statistics said output expanded by 0.3% during the second quarter from the previous three-month period, largely as a result of a strong performance in June. Though that was lower than the 0.7% increase in the first quarter of the year, it was ahead of market expectations of only a 0.1% rise. The bigger than expected increase will be welcome news to the Labour government, which has made improving growth its number one priority since it returned to power in July 2024. Higher growth will also bolster public finances as it leads to higher tax revenues. If growth continues to beat expectations in coming months, Treasury chief Rachel Reeves will be under less pressure to deliver another big tax-raising budget this fall. Reeves said Thursday's figures were 'positive' but added that there is 'more to do' to drive growth in the economy. The British economy, the sixth-largest in the world, has underperformed its long-run average since the global financial crisis of 2008-9. Critics say Reeves is partly responsible for much of the gloomy economic news since Labour returned to power after 14 years, because she was overly downbeat when taking on her role and has increased taxes, particularly on businesses.

UK goods exports to US fell to 3-year low in June before trade deal
By William Schomberg LONDON (Reuters) -British goods exports to the United States fell to their lowest level in more than three years in June, according to official data published on Thursday that showed the hit from U.S. President Donald Trump's initial import tariff blitz. Sales of British goods to the United States fell to 3.9 billion pounds ($5.3 billion) during the month, down by 0.7 billion pounds from May and about 20% lower than a monthly average of 4.9 billion pounds in 2024. The last time Britain exported fewer goods to the United States - including sales of precious metals which can be volatile - was in February 2022, the Office for National Statistics said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Trump agreed a trade deal which came into force on June 30 to cut high tariffs on cars and aerospace parts but leaves a 10% tariff on most exports with steel not yet covered. The ONS reported decreases in exports of all commodities to the United States in June with machinery and transport equipment - including cars which were hit by higher initial U.S. duties - down by 0.2 billion pounds. The ONS last week said a third of exporting businesses with 10 or more employees reported an impact from the U.S. tariffs. British imports of U.S. goods increased by 0.2 billion pounds in June, driven by higher aircraft sales, Thursday's data showed. In the April-to-June period, British exports to the United States fell by more than a quarter, reflecting how many manufacturers rushed to send their products across the Atlantic before Trump's first tariffs blitz in April.
