News has been announced that there may still be a future for a cinema in Wantage. The planning application to turn the site of the former Regent Cinema into 8 flats was refused by the Vale Planning Committee and was taken to appeal. However, that appeal has been dismissed by the inspector. Read more here.
The Inspector concluded that the proposal would have had an adverse effect on the diversity of uses in Wantage town centre and is in conflict with the development plan. My former colleague, the late Cllr. Jim Moley would have been delighted with this news and I am pleased that the fight continues for a local cinema.
