Former Blackheath bar to see new occupant.
Unit is seen pretty much slap bang in the middle with to let board.
A former bar on Montpelier Vale in Blackheath has seen plans go in
to open as a vets.
The site at 7-9 Montpelier Vale was formerly Mordens Bar and if it
does become a vets, that’d follow quickly on the heels of another
recently opening in the former Lloyds bank building.
Virtue Petco Blackheath Ltd are behind this new plan.
An application uploaded to Lewisham Council’s website states that
“Planning consent was granted in October 2024 (ref DC/24/136455) for
change of use to class E (restaurant), class C3 residential on the
upper floors and new build mews office, class E, at the rear.”
Unit on left as seen a few days ago.
The building’s landlord claims there were no takers when the site
was marketed:
“Despite a sustained period of proactive exposure, we can confirm
that there has been zero meaningful appetite or realistic commercial
interest from Sui Generis nightclub or wine bar operators to
re-occupy or re-establish the venue in its existing capacity.
“While the location on Montpelier Vale remains a vibrant retail and
leisure pitch, the cost associated with running a business of this
nature in the current climate meant that no suitable or proceedable
tenant could be found under that use.”
Annual rent was £95,000 + VAT and included upper floors. |
