A new 280-capacity live music venue is expected to be built in London’s Tin Pan Alley after Camden Council gave its permission for the development.
Designed by Orms, and in close consultation with Historic England, the GLA and Music Venues Trust, the approved scheme replaces the former 12 Bar venue on Denmark Street and Denmark Place.
This is in addition to the 800 capacity music venue already granted consent as part of the wider St Giles Circus scheme, further enhancing the quarter’s musical heritage.
John McRae, Orms director, said: ‘We are delighted to have secured consent to provide an additional grassroots music venue as part of the St Giles Circus redevelopment.
‘This added to the large venue we are already providing ensures a diverse range of uses can be accommodated in this important central London location.’
St Giles Circus, which is expected to be ready in 2018, will also have gallery spaces, offices, bars, restaurants and housing.
The news of the development follows the UK government’s decision to introduce new legislation giving local authorities the powers to better protect live music venues against redevelopment pressures.
The new regulations, which come into effect on 6 April 2016, mean developers are now required to seek prior approval on noise impacts before changing the use of a site from offices to residential dwellings.
