The site extends to approx. 0.146 ha with frontage onto Avondale, Dykegate Street and The Mall River and is partially located within an Architectural Conservation Area. The proposed development consists of the demolition of elements of the existing buildings on site to facilitate the proposal, the refurbishment of The Phoenix Cinema building and existing outbuildings and the construction of an extension to The Phoenix Cinema building and associated reuse and extension of outbuildings on the subject site to provide an innovative regional cultural centre (approx. 2029.2 sq.m).
