Council planning record

We require a change of use for this building. The current use of the building is light industrial, where we run arts and crafts courses and workshops and this will continue as is. We would like to extend this to a mixed used that includes A3 (cafe/bar with food and drinks, we have acquired our personal and premises alcohol licence), A1 to cover a shop (we will be selling arts and crafts) including occasional markets. We plan to be running entertaining live performance including live music, comedy, talks, screening, etc. We would like to be able to use the outside space within the boundary of the building as part of the cafe, tables and chairs, etc.
