An award-winning pub will be subject to a change of use if plans for a new supermarket go ahead.
The Wimborne-based Royal Oak in Dorset is located on land that has been assigned for redevelopment in a bid to regenerate the area, the BBC reported.
Hill Richmond, the landowner, told the news provider: "The area has been earmarked by Bournemouth council for a supermarket and convenience shops, with an additional 150 car parking spaces."
Martin Burke, director of the company, said: "We are sorry that the pub land is needed to carry out the essential highways improvements for this redevelopment, but we hope that our scheme will help regenerate the Kinson area for the benefit of local people, who will not have to travel further afield for their weekly shop."
The Royal Oak has been named winter pub of the season by the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale and is nominated for the Pub of the Year Award.
