I've had a number of residents get in touch concerned about the future of the old Fox and Hounds pub, which has been closed for some time.
Located in Carshalton High Street, there has been a lot of rumour about the potential future of the site#.
I have made enquiries with the Council and received the below update:
The [owner] has engaged in pre-application discussions with the Council about a redevelopment of the building as new offices. The last contact we had was by letter sent in July 2019 when we concluded our discussions by saying that none of the proposals put forward for the site would be in accordance with the Development Plan and, more recently, the Carshalton Village Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan.
The site is not listed, despite being within a Conservation Area, but I know many residents are passionate about the historic ties the building has to the area.
I will be keeping a watch for any future planning applications that may be sought for this site, and I will also be keeping residents updated as and when I hear anything about the future of this site.
