Welling pub Lord Kitchener to be replaced by co-op and 19 flats if plans approved.

Welling pub the Lord Kitchener will be converted to retail use with 19 flats on site if plans submitted to Bexley Council are approved.

Northhold group are behind the project after purchasing the site in March 2019. Planning documents state a new co-op would take over the ground floor area and part of the building demolished to accommodate flats.

The building itself was built in 1937 and first opened as a public house in 1939. Earlier this year it was proposed that the building be added to Bexley Council’s Local List.

Plans foresee 41 parking spaces with 21 reserved for residents. A total of 42 per cent will be “affordable” which totals eight flats; of that three flats are social housing and two shared ownership.

It used to be a girls stage school, and at one point a stop for horses, the old stage lift generator is in the kitchen under a trap door.

Welling's Lord Kitchener pub to be turned into shop and flats.

Plans which will see Welling pub the Lord Kitchener converted into a convenience store and homes have been approved unanimously, despite one councillor describing aspects of the proposed homes as “appalling”.

Bexley Council’s planning committee gave the green light for the application to transform the listed pub, which has remained vacant since its closure in September 2018.
