Please make your comments in the box below, making it clear which policy your response relates to using the policy reference number or paragraph number.
Draft Policy DM17 - The Theatres Trust supports the inclusion of this policy as it aims to safeguard cultural facilities in accordance with guidance in para 70 and 156 of the NPPF.
We do, however, caution on relying on viability as justification for the loss of a community or cultural facility, and instead recommend there by more emphasis on community need.
