Our Planning Application for ‘Change of Use’ for the building from Employment (B1) to Community use (D1) was ‘validated’ by the Planning Department at the Borough Council on the 24 Jun 2009 as application No 09/01332/FUL, see:

In order to ensure that the neighbours to the building are aware of our plans we have distributed a brochure which provides an overview of our plans for the building. We have also written to the Borough and Urban Community Councillors in the Cauldwell Ward. The brochure can be viewed at:

We had thought that the process for a planning decision would take 13 weeks but the website says that the ‘Target Decision Date’ is the 19 August, just 8 weeks.
So we are almost half way through the process.
However there are still issues linked to noise and parking that we are still working on.
