Theatre School

Planning permission has been granted for the change of use of an office building to a school. Corona Theatre School is a long-established performing arts school who needed to find new premises urgently due to an end on their lease in their previous premises.

Their desired new building fell into the restrictive policies of LB Richmond. We coordinated the professional team to provide evidence on employment policy, traffic and parking issues, and the suitability of the premises as a school. Detailed discussions were held with Officers at the Council and the application recommended for approval to Committee, despite a recognition that the scheme was not entirely consistent with the Council's policies. The application was approved unanimously.
