15d Wasting spaces outside new pub, all taken up. S?A?N?N?. This is not a straightforward clue, however - one of the letters in the definition part of the clue is a deliberate misprint. Because it is my last clue, I should know the replacement letter, but can only narrow it down to an L, T, or C. So, for example, wasting could be lasting and the answer could be 'spanning', but it doesn't quite work for me...!

can't figure out the wrong letter but maybe:-

spaces = GAPS
outside of new pub = N INN => GninnAPS

and all backwards is SPANNING ???

I think spanning is correct. One meaning is lasting. The word play gives gaps (spaces) around n inn (pub) - all reversed.

Thanks, Bibblebub and Mike... and sorry so late to respond (have had a houseful of guests here since I posted!). So how did I miss 'gaps'? - in too much of a hurry to finish it before they all arrived!
