The Railway Hotel, constructed in 1931, holds Grade 2-listed status. It ceased operating as a public house in 2006 and has since experienced damage from vandalism and fire. The current application seeks to restore the building and transform the surrounding Forumside site.
Edgware Limited stated on the council's planning portal that the application aims to "restore Edgware’s much-loved Grade-II-listed Railway Hotel, open up the neglected Forumside site, and create new public spaces, homes, places to eat, and work at the heart of the town centre." The company added that the project represents "a real chance to repair a neglected local landmark and help Edgware feel greener, safer and more connected."
