Does anyone else know that it has now closed for business and will be turned into flats?

Leaf - You are clearly very interested in this issue since you've repeatedly posted on it a number of times.
I've taken the time to look this up on the Lewisham planning website where there are no existing plans. This doesn't mean that the pub won't eventually change use but a planning application will have to come forward first.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to try to establish some basic solid facts yourself if you are concerned about this happening? You can then post them on this site.

Yes i have,i also started the thread,so its no surprise that i will post on it more than once.

Yes i read that in your last post,i then posted where i got the info from,which i accept isnt a reliable source.

I didnt say i was concerned,i dont much care that it has closed for business,its not somewhere that i ever went to.
Not quite sure why this thread has riled you into being so rude and patronising?

I walked past the place this morning and saw that a planning notice was pinned up. I've just looked it up on the Lewisham council's website and found this entry:
http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/LEWIS-XS ... mkey=49624
(If the link doesn't work, go into the planning section of the site and use the search facility, looking under Wells Park Road).
There's actually quite a lot of information there, which I found pretty interesting (hurrah for e-government!). In summary, the plans are to demolish the existing building and build a 16 metre high building with four floors plus a fifth set back. This would contain 8 2-bed flats (about 80-85 square metres if I remember correctly) plus 1 3-bed flat and all would have a balcony and terrace. From what I could see of the plans, they would sort of look a bit like the flats above Sainsburys in Forest Hill.
I think this is good news, and it should help improve the reputation of that area. What say the rest of you?

Much as I hate to see old stuff demolished.. From what I can deduce from the plans it looks good - great to see someone attempting some nice-looking flats. The grass on top- is an eco-friendly touch - is this continued throughout in other features I wonder? Aluminium windows instead of upvc = a good thing, top marks.
I think it will help improve that area which frankly needs a bit of help but could be lovely (its near the park etc) with a bit more of this kind of thing. I live nearby and that's my opinion.
