Sainsbury's is preparing to open a Local convenience store in Blackheath, taking over the former location of Pares Footwear, which closed in November 2023.
The refurbishment plans for the 18th century building involve adding a lift and staircase to connect the ground floor and basement to enhance accessibility.
Morden College, the building's owner, stated that the previous tenant, Pares, did not maintain the property adequately, leading to issues during their occupancy.
The council will decide on the joint refurbishment application from Morden College and Sainsbury's, aimed at ensuring a sympathetic fit for the listed building.
