VICTORIA PALACE THEATRE REDEVELOPMENT
PLANNING APPLICATION SUBMITTED

Victoria Palace Theatre, London

Following our appointment as architect for the extension of London's Victoria Palace Theatre, a planning application has been submitted to Westminster Council. Plans include significant improvements to the existing theatre — building a new and extended stagehouse, and providing two lifts adjacent to front-of-house (also to be extended and improved). Building work is not expected to start for several years, ensuring no disruption to the resident hit musical Billy Elliot.

NEW PERFORMANCE VENUE FOR DONCASTER
FEASIBILITY & VIABILITY REPORT COMPLETED

New performance venue, Doncaster

Plans for Doncaster's new performance venue are moving forward, as the Feasibility & Viability report has now been completed. Arts Team expects to receive instruction to proceed with design for a planning application in October 2008. Having been appointed in March 2008, with other consultants, we have devised various options. As a result of the study, the project is likely to be split into two phases; second phase providing education, rehearsal and library facilities. The venue is to be located in the heart of Doncaster's new Waterdale development.
