A plan to build a three-storey extension to the Cutty Sark pub has been refused by the Planning Board of Greenwich Council.
The proposal by the owners – Morden College – was that a current one-storey extension to the Grade-II listed public house in Ballast Quay be demolished and replaced with a three-storey extension
The council received 12 responses to the planning application – all against the move. Criticisms included that the proposal would substantially change the nature of the business from a pub to that of a restaurant and that the changes were not in keeping with the character of the building or of the street.
Council officials had recommended that permission be granted but Councillors turned down the application at their meeting on Tuesday night.
