A new planning application has been submitted for the redevelopment of the Old Justice pub on Bermondsey Wall East.

A scheme to redevelop the building with flats and a smaller retained pub was approved earlier this year – but the owners have now found a tenant to run the pub and revised proposals have been drawn up.

According to the application documents:

The new proposal is to retain a more extensive part of the public house (compared to the previous planning application 14/AP/4488); the new application includes the reduction of residential units from 6 down to 5 flats.

The applicant has secured a tenant for the public house, which is to be re-opened to the public, and therefore a larger area, including exterior amenity, is necessary to be retained for A4 use.

In this way the proposal learns from the previous approved planning application and the visual aspects of the approved proposal, yet includes the reinstatement of the Public House as the hub of the community, restoring it to its former glory.
