Its pleasing to see that the aforementioned planning application which involved demolition of the theatre has been turned down by Kirklees MBC (see planning website- link as above). Before this the developers had been asked to resubmit ammended plans incorporating Roland Satchwells frontage, these can be seen on the kirklees website, with drawings of it incorporated into the proposed department store. Perhaps this was a result of the actions of The Theatres Trust. Kirklees MBC planning commitee may be rather pleased that they now have an ‘excuse’ to reject a scheme that could have been seen as direct competition to their own- howver lets wait and see, the planners are to appeal acording to local press reports. Thanks (formally conran / out of circulation for a while!)
