22 February (Part 1) - What took them so long?
I was promised a tip off of the old Harrow Inn site redevelopment going before the Planning Committee but it didn’t happen, instead I was alerted to it by
the 853 blog. It has been a long time coming for it is
eleven years since the old pub was demolished.

I first saw Peabody’s plans for the long derelict site in July 2017 when it was
said that the planning application would be submitted in the following November,
but it didn’t happen and a few months later
the public
made it very clear that they didn’t like Peabody’s proposals.
Peabody went back to the drawing board and came up with revised ideas which were
exhibited in Abbey Wood in January 2019. Much better was the verdict
and a whole year later Bexley Council is asked if it agrees. The plans will be
approved next Thursday.
