The Talbot pub tower

I'm still not entirely convinced that this application is real but rather is an elaborate prank. It makes no sense. A pub couldn't survive there without flats above it with residents complaining about the noise so you aren't going to be able to get a tenant to take it on. It might be worth keeping an eye on what Ealing Council can and will do to make sure that an active pub is a condition of permission to build and continued occupancy of the flats. The danger is that the upper floors get build and then a few years later the pub is converted to residential because it is unviable.

The Talbots been empty and deteriorating for 10 years.  Not the same as the Goldmsiths at all

LBE under Liebore have, by their consistent actions over many years in power, created such a high level of distrust that most Residents just wearily dismiss EVERYTHING Ealing Council says, rightly or wrongly, as Bullshit and Lies.To attain such a lofty level of "trust" with those you are supposed to serve takes some doing!We have a lovely Council.

This is the normal BS they do to try to get rid of a pub and build flats. See what happened to the Goldsmith Arms for details.

I agree, the proposal is ludicrous.I'm actually waiting for a Re-Application to plonk a 40 Floors Tower on top.Either way, there's no doubt Planning Permission will be "Granted" by our Liebore controlled "independent" Planning Committee.  🤣One think for VERY sure, and we are all wearily aware, LBE will do what's best for them, and Developers. Sod Residents.Until Council Election time.Of course.We have a lovely Council.      🤣
