Local List SPD - Discussion & Consultation Document

Representation ID: 27954

Received: 05/05/2011

Respondent: The Theatres Trust

Representation Summary:

Thank you for your email of 8 February consulting The Theatres Trust on options for the Local List Supplementary Planning Document to identify local heritage assets.

The Theatres Trust is The National Advisory Public Body for Theatres. The Theatres Trust Act 1976 states that 'The Theatres Trust exists to promote the better protection of theatres. It currently delivers statutory planning advice on theatre buildings and theatre use through the Town & Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (England) Order 2010 (DMPO), Articles 16 & 17, Schedule 5, para.(w) that requires the Trust to be consulted by local authorities on planning applications which include 'development involving any land on which there is a theatre.'

Due to the specific nature of the Trust's remit we are concerned with the protection and promotion of theatres and as the District has no theatres we have none to suggest for listing but look forward to being consulted on further planning policy documents.
