Policy information sourced from Hackney Local Plan 2033
LP10 Arts, Culture and Entertainment Facilities
- New major development of arts, culture and entertainment facilities must be located within the Central Activities Zone, and major and district centre locations.
- Smaller scale proposals will be permitted in areas that are accessible by public transport and walking and cycling routes by those that are likely to use the facility.
- The dual use of sites for a mix of arts- and culture-related uses and use of vacant units in highly accessible areas and town centre locations for temporary arts related activities will be permitted.
- Development involving the loss of arts, culture and entertainment facilities will be resisted, unless re-provided in accordance with other policy requirements. Where loss of the facility is necessary to secure a development which will deliver wider planning benefits for the community, and this can be demonstrated to the Council’s satisfaction, a contribution towards cultural, public art or creative projects should be provided in accordance with the Council’s Planning Contributions SPD.
