Update of the change of use appeal for 66 Honor Oak Park

[onetreehill]

Thanks so much for all of your positive comments and supporting our petition.

We have now had our appeal validated for 66 Honor Oak Park to change the use from a minimart (A1) to a drinking establishment (A4). We are hoping that the final decision will be one to celebrate.

We are proposing to become a local neighbourhood bar with a strong community feel where people can enjoy meeting up and socialising after enjoying a meal at one of the other establishments. We would be offering a wide variety of drinks and a selection of nibbles and snacks, including artisan products that would be sourced from other small local businesses and local markets. We plan to hold events such as wine tasting evenings, offering a selection of unique wines and we strive to support the local community.

Our proposed hours of opening are:
Monday to Thursday 4pm to 11pm
Friday 4pm to 12am
Saturday 12pm to 12am
Sunday 12pm to 11pm

When we applied for the change of use, we also submitted plans to open a rear beer garden. We are very aware that the premises is located within a residential area. Therefore, the planned beer garden opening hours would be restricted in the evenings to ensure noise levels are controlled after a certain time, with the nearby residents in mind.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting us and the time and energy you have given throughout the process, we are truly so grateful.
