Warwickshire landlord faces legal action over pub mural

A landlord who commissioned a painting of a bull on the side of his 17th Century pub has been threatened with legal action by a council.

"I was naive not to realise painting also came under planning. That is the truth. I lived in Asia for 20 years and have never owned a property in the UK." He has now consulted with a local planner, instructed lawyers to investigate appealing against the decision, and has launched a petition for the council to allow the mural to remain.

The mural was created by Phil Taylor, an artist from Leamington Spa who has worked in the business for more than 40 years, and the artwork was completed in April."Local customers who frequent the pub, they love it. They say it's put the pub back on the map," he said.
