An application to grant an alcohol licence to The Fox Inn, in Stockton on the Forest, is set to go before councillors on Monday, September 8.
Applicants Philippa Myers and Kate Starkey said approval would mean that their village would once again have a local pub, following its closure in August last year.
But eight objections have been lodged from people living nearby, claiming they could be disturbed if the pub’s is allowed to stay open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Monday’s hearing comes after councillors granted protected asset of community value (ACV) status to the pub in August following an application from York’s Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch.
The status means organisations would have time to raise money to buy it if it was put up for sale under the Community Right to Bid.
The bid for ACV status was backed at a public meeting attended by more than 100 people in April, according to CAMRA’s application.
Ms Starkey and Ms Myers’ business Fox and Forest Ltd bought the pub in June and they also supported the bid.
