Change of use of units 78 and 80 into one A3 use (Restaurant/Cafe)
together with the erection of a single storey rear extension 78-80
COLDHARBOUR LANE LONDON SE5.
This is a proposal to convert two empty shops into one unit. Both are
vacant, one had traded successfully as a coffee shop/restaurant and the
other was a laundrette.
The proposal involves creating a new kitchen at ground floor level to
the rear in part of the external yard area, utilising existing agreed
locations for flue extract (at high level on a concealed flank wall).
Refuse is dealt with at the rear of the store. There is little visible
apart from the new shop front (“Aluminium crittall-style”), and the
conversion will create a good sized restaurant. This is opposite many of
the research facilities at Kings, so should be viable.
The Camberwell Society supports this application and to create a
Restaurant Cafe facility in this location. The size will assist
viability and with the KCH recent expanded facilities opposite, there
should be sufficient demand.
