This Pub is Permanently Closed

Formerly the Chestnut Tree, this ex-Punch pub on Lea Bridge Road was purchased by an Islamic educational trust in 2013 with the aims of turning it into a Mosque and community centre. Waltham Forest Council rejected this largely on the grounds of traffic, noise, parking and disruption. CAMRA East London & City (ELAC) branch objected to the change of use of the pub. The owners, Faizan e Islam appealed and the appeal was heard by the planning inspector on 15 April. The appeal was won by the owners.
