A plan for a new gin distillery in a Bucks market town has been given the green light by planning officers.
A proposal to convert an existing detached outbuilding into a gin distillery and storage at the Grade II listed Crown Hotel in Amersham has been granted listed building consent.
The timber framed two storey building will be used to make gin for the Old Amersham Gin brand.
The ground floor will house the still and distilling room, while the upper floor will be used for storage.
The plan means the “attractive” building, which is in “poor condition” can now be refurbished for a new use.
