Appeal Reference No: APP/K5600/A/12/2172342
The Cross Key Public House, 1 Lawrence Street, London, SW3 5NB
Dear Sirs,
We urge the Inspector to dismiss the Appeal against the RBKC Planning Committee’s unanimous refusal of consent for change of use of this historic and much used local amenity for the following reasons:
Loss of a valuable community amenity and social meeting place
The Cross Keys helps to unite our community and contributes to our sense of local identity. Christenings, birthdays, wedding receptions and funeral wakes are traditionally held here. Local groups also meet here frequently as do local church goers, who gather here every Sunday. This valued community amenity helps to sustain and enhance social cohesion within the area - across all age groups and walks of life.
Detrimental impact on the character of a conservation area
This pub is unique and it adds vitality and diversity to the area. It lends a sense of local community which in turn helps to preserve and enhance not just the character of this historic conservation area but also the quality of life of its residents. Its loss would be severely detrimental both socially and historically.
Risk of becoming a “Dormitory Suburb”
Without The Cross Keys our village ambience and the vibrancy of local life would be lost. The area would be at real risk of becoming nothing more than a dormitory suburb where the streets are lifeless and our sense of community diminished.
Historical sense of place
The Cross Keys, described by English Heritage as ‘of clear local significance and high townscape interest’ is of genuine historic value. It lies at the heart of Old Chelsea village. Originally a coaching inn, it has been a pub – and local meeting place - for over 300 years. It is an important part of Chelsea’s history and should be enjoyed as such for generations to come.
We ask the Inspector to consider the interests of the wider local community when coming to a decision about The Cross Keys.
Yours, The undersigned
ADD YOUR NAME HERE.
We need your email address to make sure this is a genuine submission. We won't spam you or give your address to anyone else. But we will keep you in touch to let you know how we're doing.

First we lost the Jamahiriya School to developers & it is now an empty hulk awaiting destruction, instead of a much-needed school. Then we lost Sloane House & Lodge they are now being "developed" to the extent that little will remain of the original listed buildings. Neither of these sites was protected ultimately despite being refused consent upon appeal, and despite numerous refusals by RBKC of their initial planning applications. When every available site in this borough has been mcmansioned, maybe we will finally realise how much of our heritage has been lost.

We don't need to provide any more luxury boltholes for thieves who've made a pile in their own countries and want the safety and security that this one, almost alone, can provide. Anywhere else and they risk extradition. In Battersea we have lost dozens of smashing pubs to 'developers', just like the rest of central London. As Belloq said, 'when you have lost your inns go drown your empty selves for you will have lost the best of England'. After a lifetime spent enjoying our most famous national institution I see a bleak and depressing future if it continues wither away at its current rate.

As a Chelsea resident for 25 years I have seen the gradual disappearance of many historic pubs in Chelsea.

How does granting planning permission for yet another trophy house add any positive element to the Chelsea community?

We lost the lovely Eight Bells years ago and ended up with Yet Another Expensive Restaurant. The Cross Keys has been a vital and convivial centre in which to meet friends, relatives or business partners. It's location well away from the main roads means it's local character is preserved. The LAST thing this area needs is another 'luxury development' and converting this 300 year old historic building would be a travesty of epic proportions. I will help fight this philistine proposal all the way.

The council has already recognised the importance of conserving public houses in Chelsea because they are fundamental to the character of the area. That character would be sadly and irrevocably damaged by conversion of this lovely old pub to yet another enormous house.

Disgraceful actions of an overpaid council Boss who seem to work full-time to disturb, distress and disrupt the good people of RBKC, must be stopped. We used to have wonderful, supportive and well-mannered managers at the council, now these managers seem to conspire to cause community upset.This is an attack on the chief executive, from me, not on another staff. I am attacking the malice (malice determines crime) and questioning their suitability to be running our treasured history, in this case, a truly fabulous pub where we've all shared wonderful times with great local characters and celebrities at one time or another. Save this pub.

Having worked at the Phene and been a regular at the Cross Keys over the years..remember Arthur?... it is very sad to see not only the history of the area, but the bon viveur of a local community disappearing because some property developers want to make a fast buck ...very sad, but important to fight against.
Colin Monk,
I bought a house in Redesdale Street in 1977 and my local was the Coopers Arms on Flood Street and through this pub met many local residents, during the time of my ownership there was a community spirit and pubs in the area such as the Cross Keys, The Phene, Beehive and The Surprise were frequent haunts. We've now lost many in Chelsea and any more would turn Chelsea into a dormitory scenario. In fact my previous house has the blinds drawn and no obvious occupants!! This says something how things are going!!

There is not a street in Chelsea that hasnt got skips, buildings covered in scaffolding for roof extensions, or basements being dug out, so another characterful property can become a bland, occasional home for the super rich.

Closing the Cross Keys will straightway have the effect of helping to turn the area into a depressing desert and there will be one more multi million pound house which we will be seldom occupied and where there will be no lights on in the evenings.
If anyone is inclined not to believe this, they only need to look at Milner Street, where The Australian, an equally historic pub, was closed (along with The Moore Arms and The Shuckbrugh Arms) relatively recently. From being the lively and attractive area it had been with people walking in the street, it has now become dull, soulless and dead in comparison with what it used to be - AND, apart from all this, yet another historic living landmark was lost for good.
Let the wanton loss of The Australian serve as a warning to us all and let us pray that, at least, the Cross Keys may be saved.

I am the former landlord of the The Crown in Dovehouse St SW3, a popular watering hole next to the Marsden Hospital. I gave up because the pub co Enterprise Inns charged me an exortionate rent (although I owned the 22 yr lease) and I had to buy my beer (at an exortionate rate) solely through them. I also spent £30,000 refurbishing the place.
After 16 months I threw in the towel. I turned the business around, but I was never going to make a decent profit (by that I mean anything above 10 percent net) because Enterprise would have raised my rent. The current independent owners are faring no better, but at least they have other pubs in London which make a decent profit and so they can subsidise The Crown.
The point is pub co's like Enterprise know they're sitting on a cash cow (the building) so long as they get a change of lease. By keeping rents unreasonably high, they'll get a turnover of landlords and they can say to the council 'this pub's not viable, we've had 3 landlords in 5 years etc.' Then the council caves in and the old pub becomes 'luxury flats'. I estimate The Crown freehold to be worth about £2-3 million and that's undeveloped. As a pub lease it's worth around £100k.
Someone mentioned "how come if they wanted to make a profit, they closed The Cross Keys just before the Jubilee weekend?" Good point. I was in the Pig's Ear that day and it was doing a roaring trade.
The developers have closed pubs all over Chelsea. Enough is enough. Save our pubs. Save The Cross Keys.

I agree with all the arguments in the letter. Additionally, a community pub is something to cherish. Coming from North America where there are no such local pubs, I value a place where neighbours come to meet, where I can walk down the street at night, knowing that there is a pub near my home with people in it (adds to my safety), and where community is developed in the sense of having a place to go where people know you and can share a word or two. You have something of rare value here in Britain - you should save your heritage.

The idea this pub isn't commercially viable is absurd. It is always busy and in one of the most wealthy areas of London. If the owner has paid too much for it that is his fault and not an excuse to turn it into a residential house. Of course one would be forgiven for assuming this was always the intention.

Tired, thirsty and wanting the toilet on a walk from Fulham towards Waterloo, I consulted my phone app and discovered a famous hostelry nearby.

This area doesn't need luxury accommodation it needs a social centre. A good, old fashioned, British Pub.

Keep fighting the good fight.

For more than 6 years I lived on Justice Walk and NEVER had any problem with the Cross Keys Pub. It changed hands many times and changed its look many times, but it was a always a wonderful meeting place for the neighbors both old and young. We met our friends and family there. We made friends there. It was part of our community. It brought the area to life and we were happy to have it in walking distance of our home. Please save the Cross Keys from development! It may be valuable for development but it is priceless to the community of Old Chelsea.

Hi uncle has shut down the Pheoene round the corner also with a view to turning this pub into a property, so it is more than a coincidence they have run the pubs into the ground too build property to make them money and rich extremely quick with no thought for the history of Chelsea which is one of the most iconic and loved London areas. Developers can find other sites rather than targeting pubs, bingo hall, or other listed buildings that turn areas into culturless places. save this pub save the British Pub in general and a big part of culture.

The cross keys was a successful viable business capable of generating employment, it added to the diversity and uniqueness of the area.

Individual property developers should not be allowed to profit at the expense of local communities. There are plenty of run down/derelict properties in other parts of London or the UK that could benefit from their renovating/redevelopment skills. The developers should have some civic sense and go out and help build happy communities not make angry ones! Upholding the decision is the right thing to do for the local community and visitors to this historic area

锘縜vec Rilke- Nietzsche- Freud. Peut-锚tre, Sandgirl y trouveriez-vous la r茅ponse 脿 vos questions ? Ma soeur, mon 茅pouse C est 茅dit茅 chez Gallimard Collection TelOn peut y lire page 272 : Lou fut pr茅sent茅e 脿 Freud par Bjerre au d茅but du Congr猫s de Weimar. Elle se rappelle que Freud se mit 脿 rire devant son d茅sir exprim茅 avec v茅h茅mence d 茅tudier la psychanalyse . Elle n avait que cinq ans de moins que lui, mais elle se conduisait comme une enfant qui vient ralph lauren pas cher
de voir un nouveau et merveilleux jouet et veut le poss茅der. Son ardeur paraissait quelque peu na?ve, car personne ne savait mieux que Freud 脿 quel point les voies de l inconscient sont tortueuses et quel travail patient est n茅cessaire pour le d茅couvrir. Il lui avait fallu la moiti茅 de sa vie pour parvenir 脿 ses conclusions et Lou, elle, 茅tait impatiente de les assimiler en quelques jours .Mais l ironie de Freud ne d茅couragea pas Lou et, peu 脿 peu, l amusement de Freud fit place 脿 l 茅merveillement. Quelle femme 茅trange c 茅tait l脿 ! Il avait appris que Lou 茅tait 茅crivain et il connaissait ses relations personnelles avec Nietzsche (qui lui avait certainement enseign茅 le tragique et la complexit茅 des processus psychiques )En v茅rit茅, en l entendant parler, Freud fut frapp茅 par la profondeur de ses observations. Sa brillante intelligence 茅tait indubitable . Freud sentit que Lou le comprenait parfaitement. Pourquoi en ce cas, en face de toute l 茅vidence du contraire, persistait-elle dans son joyeux optimisme ? Cette question intrigua Freud et continua de l intriguer pendant les nombreuses ann茅es que dura leur amiti茅.Le nom de Nietzsche fut souvent cit茅 dans des discussions officieuses pendant le Congr猫s de Weimar. Il 茅tait g茅n茅ralement connu que la soeur de Nietzsche, Elizabeth, habitait la ville et 茅tait l 茅nergique directrice des Archives Nietzsche, qu elle avait fond茅es. Lou, bien entendu, 茅vitait avec soin sa grande adversaire. Elle dut 锚tre amus茅e, lorsqu elle apprit ralph lauren homme
que deux des collaborateurs les plus proches de Freud rendirent visite 脿 Elizabeth et lui dirent que son c茅l猫bre fr猫re avait anticip茅 nombre des trouvailles de Freud .

锘縨oins s茅parables. Puis j'ai dirig茅 un atelier de sc茅nographie 脿 l'茅cole du TN de Strasbourg en 2001, portant sur l'ensemble des textes de Sarah Kane. C'est lors de cette exp茅rience avec les 茅tudiants que la rencontre avec Sarah Kane s'est vraiment faite. D'une fa?on inattendue, presque 脿 mon insu. An茅antis, la pi猫ce la plus abrupte, la moins apparemment po茅tique, me hantait, j'y pensais tout le moncler chevalier
temps. Mais pas comme 脿 un texte de th茅atre, une hypoth猫se de spectacle, un projet possible. Non, j'y pensais comme 脿 une chose v茅cue, une exp茅rience, un incident de la vie auquel il sac moncler
m'茅tait n茅cessaire de revenir sans cesse. Une rencontre loin du th茅atre, loin de la litt茅rature, loin du travail, dans le secret de ma propre intimit茅. J'y pensais comme 脿 une blessure, une question, un vertige. C'est par une esp猫ce de sursaut et de d茅passement de l'approche mentale que cela s'est impos茅 脿 moi comme un mouvement de la vie. Je l'aborde donc sans go?t esth茅tique particulier, mais de l'int茅rieur et par une sorte de n茅cessit茅 tr猫s intime. N茅cessit茅. Vous touchez ici un point essentiel sur lequel Sarah Kane s'est exprim茅e tr猫s directement. Je la cite : ? Au th茅atre il m'arrive 锘?
fr茅quemment de sortir avant la fin, sans craindre de rien manquer. Mais si mal que je me sente, je n'ai jamais quitt茅 un match de football avant la fin, parce qu'on ne sait jamais 脿 quel moment le miracle peut se produire. ? On voit bien ce qu'elle d茅signe ici : quelque chose est en train de se jouer, sans trucage, sans filet. Le th茅atre serait alors le lieu de la performance pure, un jeu sans filet tel qu'Artaud a pu l'entendre, au risque que les com茅diens lachent prise parce que le jeu est trop fort, insupportable, ce dont Sarah Kane 茅tait parfaitement consciente. La performance met en contact direct avec la pens茅e et les sentiments, c'est ce que vous avez entrevu avec ce texte. Vous parlez d'une exp茅rience diffuse et non esth茅tique. Parlons de la langue : elle est loin de celle de 4.48. Vous 锚tes un lecteur tr猫s pr茅cis. De quelle mani猫re 锚tes-vous intervenu sur le texte ? Daniel Jeanneteau. Sarah Kane m'a appris beaucoup de choses sur le langage. Tout chez elle part d'une exp茅rience informe, brute, centrale, qui ne rel猫ve jamais en premier du dire. Son 茅criture rec猫le des particules de vie extr锚mement denses qui ne sont pas toujours perceptibles d'embl茅e, mais gisent sous des couches de gravats tr猫s bruts : une pr茅sence secr猫te, une pens茅e enfouie, des volcans d'茅motion. Il y a dans ses oeuvres une grace sous-jacente, une sorte de vie spirituelle pleine d'aspiration et d'espoir, m锚me dans ses textes les plus douloureux, qui ont 茅largi ma capacit茅 d'imaginer 茅criture et po茅sie. Travaillant sur la traduction, je m'茅merveille de la qualit茅 de cette 茅criture. Passer de Racine 锘?

One a pub is lost to housing in a high value area it is lost for good. Don't let speculators run them into the ground and then say they are not working in order to make a killing on converting to resi. Offer greater protection to pubs and I'm sure you'll see more investment in them (as pubs) and, to everyone's amazement, they will become functioning businesses again and the whole community will benefit.

锘?脿 l'orchestration des Harmonies, de la cellule close 脿 la ronde des astres, la gamme n'a cess茅 de s'茅largir. On ne reviendra pas sur ? la beaut茅 ext茅nuante et irrationnelle de certaines s茅quences ? dont Vincent Ostria parla 脿 Cannes (voir l'Humanit茅 du 22 mai 2000). Elle frappera d'entr茅e le spectateur appel茅 脿 suivre le ballet embrum茅 d'alcool de piliers de bistrot 茅crivant de leurs corps lourds une cosmogonie hallucin茅e. Ainsi se dit, sans discours autre que celui de ce ballet ouvert sur l'oeil incandescent d'un po锚le familier, qu'il va 锚tre question et de notre monde de tous les jours et du mouvement des astres qui nous emporte dans sa course, de la folie des hommes. ? Cette apocalypse n'茅pargne rien ?, 茅crivait B茅la Tarr dans une note d'intention distribu茅e 脿 Budapest en 1998, alors qu'il avait le plus grand mal 脿 monter son film : il y mit deux ans, le tournant par fragments avec sept op茅rateurs, ce qui para?t incroyable au vu de l'unit茅 de l'oeuvre. Il ajoutait : ? Elle n'茅pargne pas plus ceux qui sont intellectuellement d茅tach茅s que ceux qui sont pleins de l'enthousiasme de l'adolescence, ou ceux hant茅s par la peur petite-bourgeoise de perdre leur confort. Pas plus qu'elle n'茅pargne la famille, ni rien de ce que la culture europ茅enne en tant que mode de vie a tent茅 pendant des si猫cles de pr茅server. ? Ambitieuse vis茅e. Plus ambitieuse encore est la fa?on de la mettre en oeuvre : comme dans ce premier plan-s茅quence dont il fut question, aucun discours ext茅rieur ne vient parasiter le discours de l'image (et du son, tant les bruits de pas, martel茅s ou furtifs, sac longchamp noir
et la musique de Mihaly Vig, lointaine rumeur des sph猫res c茅lestes, ont de 锘?
l'importance). Il y a un soir, celui du bistrot qui ferme, puis il y a une nuit trou茅e par les phares d'un tracteur tirant une remorque de t?le ondul茅e o霉 s'expose une baleine, un prince manipulateur de foules dont on ne verra que l'ombre furtive - et encore n'est-on pas s?r que ce soit la sienne. Il y a sac main longchamp
un jour o霉 grandit la rumeur de bouleversements, puis un soir 锘?
o霉 des enfants refusent de se coucher, et un lendemain o霉 un village hongrois semblable 脿 tant d'autres est d茅vast茅 et la baleine g?t au sol, monstre pitoyable de toile cir茅e cro?teuse 脿 l'oeil mort. La catastrophe est pass茅e. Un vieil homme s'en va, sa gamelle 脿 la main. Alors, oui, il faut voir ce film, le regarder, y revenir, et le DVD se pr锚te 脿 ces relectures, d'autant que la copie est superbe. On regrettera sac de voyage longchamp
seulement que dans les ? suppl茅ments ? ne figure qu'un verbeux commentaire de s茅quences : l'occasion aurait 茅t茅 pourtant bonne de donner id茅e de l'oeuvre de B茅la Tarr, et la curiosit茅 de la conna?tre.
