Demolition of Waterlooville’s The Wellington Pub Approved

Wednesday 19th April 2017 by Steve Mayne

The new owner of The Wellington Pub Waterlooville wants to demolish the pub to make way for flats and shops.

Plans have been submitted by Pure Town Planning Limited on behalf of the owner, M Forfar Limited, for the demolition of this pub.

Under delegated powers, Havant Borough Council’s planning department have approved demolition pending further information regarding the site restoration.

If you wish to object to the potential loss of community facility use of this land you can submit a comment to Havant Borough Council’s planning department.

      Hmm, been there in on from or another since 1867. Is another estate agent or nail bar an improvement?

      Same with every town centre tho, would rather see a Camden style covered market with some street food, or a bandstand type event area. But that will never happen. Something to bring some life to the place!

    Would be a shame to lose yet another piece of historic Waterlooville. Would rather it was converted than demolished

      I’m writing to the Waterloo councillors to ask them to engage if they aren’t already.

    Shops? SHOPS? Haven’t we got enough vacant or temporarily-rented shops already?
    I know the answer (ie money), but wouldn’t it be good to have some sort of community project for an arts or theatre group based in this building? This town has no sense of community any more. And why on earth aren’t such historic buildings listed?

      There’s no reason why it can’t be a successful pub … sigh.

    • Ray Palmer says

      I understand the sentiment, and I’d like to think you’re right. But surely there are lots of reasons why it can’t be successful as a pub – clientele, management, reputation, location, appearance, etc. And clearly it isn’t successful at the moment.
