Student Block and Housing for Former White Lion site?
The ex-White Lion Pub on Cheriton High Street, Folkestone has had a planning application submitted to Shepway Council to turn the main building into a 16 flat student accommodation building, with 4 new terrace houses to the rear in Chilham Road.
The pub was sold by previous owners Shepherd Neame to Commercial Concerns Ltd, who are submitting the planning application. In a letter with the application, the developer outlines that for the student accommodation, they are currently in negotiation with 2 language schools and a brick-work and construction college for the proposed student block.
