Former Deptford pub sees shop conversion plan

A planning application has been made to convert the former Lord Palmerston pub in Deptford into a shop.

The pub closed in 2013 and located on Childers Street at its corner with Arklow Road.

The area has changed substantially in recent years with new housing on the area including Deptford Foundry.

Initially the applicant sought a hot food takeaway though Lewisham objected in pre-application discussions:

The Council also raised concerns about the inclusion of a hot food takeaway within the proposal, noting that its location within a 400m exclusion zone surrounding local schools rendered it non-compliant” with the London Plan.

The takeaway plan has now gone with a convenience store proposed for both the ground floor and former pub basement. Documents can be viewed here.
