Permission Sought For Music Venue At Former Screen Cinema
A planning application's been submitted to build a concert venue on the site of the former Screen Cinema.
The developer is seeking permission for a ten storey building which involves demolishing College House beside it on Townswend Street.
The venue will be run by the Press Up group which operates the likes of The Dean, Peruke and Periwig and The Clarence.
It's aimed at hosting shows like the gigs held in the Sugar Club and the Button Factory.
Offices will make up the remaining floors.
The development will also have an interactive screen as a nod to the much loved cinema which shut its doors last year.
