Bromley Council has approved signage upgrades for the Tigers Head pub in Chislehurst despite local objections.

Bromley Council has approved advertisement consent for signage upgrades at the Tigers Head, a Greene King pub in Watt's Lane, Chislehurst, despite receiving objections from locals. The proposals include a new post-mounted sign featuring a full colour illustration of a tiger's head outside the front of the pub, a fresh entrance sign above the main doors, replacement lettering on the side of the building, and new floodlights planned above.

Residents objected to the plans, raising concerns about damage to the historic building, excessive visual clutter, and harsh light pollution for pedestrians. The building is locally listed and located within a conservation area, making these considerations relevant to the council's decision.

The planning officer's report concluded that the signs would not appear excessive given the building's use as a pub. The officer stated that the proposal would complement the host property and would not appear out of character with surrounding development or the area generally.

The planning officer wrote that the proposed signs are of a sympathetic design which would complement the existing locally listed building given its use and would not result in a detrimental impact upon the character of the conservation area.

The application was granted subject to conditions, including limits on the luminance levels of the signage to address concerns about light pollution. Greene King has been contacted for further comment on the approval.
