At today's lengthy Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Planning Meeting Councillors unanimously agreed to approve planning permission for a new theatre and conference centre on the site of the existing Sean Hollywood Arts Centre.
Approval was for a four-storey theatre and conference centre extension to the Town Hall. Construction of atrium connecting theatre extension with town Hall. Demolition of the Sean Hollywood Arts Centre and No. 2 Bank Parade. Alterations and refurbishment of Town Hall. Public Realm proposals to portion of Sugar island, portion of Needham bridge, portion of East side of Newry canal, area around Bank Parade and Kildare Street
At the meeting Ben Aston and Kieran Carlin were due to speak in support of the recommendation from Council Planners to approve the proposal but because there were no-one speaking against the proposal they didn't and no questions were asked.
Cllr Glynn Hanna proposed that Councillors accept the planners recommendation and Cllr Declan McAteer seconded the motion.
