The Royal Standard pub on Pelton Road, closed since 2020, is being converted into six flats following an application approved by council planning officers. With only seven objections raised, the proposal didn’t need to be presented to councillors. Concerns about losing a heritage pub and residential density were noted. Initially marketed for rent in 2021, the pub saw no viable takers despite reduced rental offers. Planning officials deemed its conversion acceptable under London's policies, citing a need for housing and confirming the development would align with the local character.
Concerns included the loss of a heritage pub as well as the density of new homes within the development.
Planning officers said that they believed the building was no longer viable as a pub, so said that its loss was acceptable under London planning policies.
It was also decided that extensions to the building at ground and first floor level would not be dominant and overbearing.
The proposed development would respect the character and appearance of the area and would result in an acceptable living environment for prospective occupiers.
