Greenwich pub conversion to flats sees new details submitted
A Greenwich pub which closed back in 2020 is to become flats after plans were approved.
The Royal Standard on Pelton Road wasn’t one of the areas better known pubs in the years before closure compared with the nearby Pelton Arms, though it had traded for 150 years.
Plans were submitted back in 2023 and covered on this site at the time. Approval was given in 2024 and a construction plan has recently been submitted.
Back in 2023 the application stated: “The Site is located within the East Greenwich Conservation Area, but is not identified as a positive contributor to the Conservation Area”.
“The existing building is not statutory listed but is on LBG’s Local Heritage List as an early Victorian pub”.
The plot will see a rear extension and six flats on site. A timeline included within a recent document puts the start date as 1st May 2025.
Such a shame. The owners kept the building in woeful disrepair meaning running a functional business (pub/bar/whatever) in it just wasn’t viable. Then they used that as an excuse to convert it.
Another historical building & pub lost, more shoebox flats gained – just what the area needed.
