    People in Holbrook village want to save The Spotted Cow to ensure it becomes part of the community again, as it has been unoccupied for two years.

    But developer Ian McNair said if he doesn't get planning permission he'll appeal against the decision.

    He said: "If the local community wanted to buy it they would probably have to raise £500,000, plus £250,000 to refurbish it. 

    "These figures I do not believe are achievable."

    The only witness who gave evidence to the inquest in person was PC Matthew Lacey.

    There were no witnesses to the accident, but PC Lacey said he believed that when Mr Mould ran to the back of the car, he either tripped or was knocked by the moving vehicle.

    He was then trapped underneath and dragged for about four metres. He died from the effects of a crushed chest.
