Mascots Sports Bar in Bromley High Street could become new restaurant/pub.
A vacant 19th-century building in Bromley High Street, which was
last used as a sports bar, could be set for a major development.
An application has been submitted to transform the site into a
restaurant/pub, office space and homes.
To the rear of the building, located at 196-198 Bromley High Street,
the construction of a gym and fitness studio is also proposed.
The building, which dates back to 1876, was used as homes in the
20th century, before being turned into a pub in the 1990s.
"Mascots" Sports Bar was the last pub to operate from the site.
It is now proposed that the ground floor will be used as a
pub/restaurant, the first floor as offices and the second and third
floor as flats.
If Bromley Council accepts the application by Webb Architects
Limited, a single-storey building at the back will be demolished to
construct a two-storey gym and fitness studio. The rear stable block
would be retained.
In 2008 the premises served as an Australian bar called "Walkabout."
In 2012 the building served as a sports bar called "TP's."
In a statement, Webb Architects Limited said: "As a designated
Opportunity Area within the London Plan, development in Bromley Town
Centre is encouraged to promote new cultural, leisure and
residential development, and development proposals should contain a
mix of uses where appropriate.
"In addition, the application site sits within Bromley North
Village, where the Local Plan allows for the conversion of upper
floors to residential, office or other appropriate uses which will
enhance the vitality of the area and improve its appearance.
"The London Plan seeks to ensure that growth in Opportunity Areas
ensures a vibrant day and night time centre."
