Making better use of Stoke Newington Town Hall and surrounds
Overview
Hackney Council wants to make better use of the historic Stoke Newington Town Hall, Library and the under-used buildings and space to the rear, to ensure that the buildings have a vibrant and sustainable future.
It is expensive for the Council to maintain these buildings and their community functions. In recent years the Council has spent over £5 million refurbishing these buildings, and more maintenance work is needed. Over the coming years it is estimated that the Council will need to spend a further £10 million on additional work to protect and maintain these important community and heritage assets.
Using responses from a consultation carried out during October 2016, the Council has set out a number of potential new uses and improvements for Stoke Newington Town Hall and surrounds which have been used to create a draft Planning and Design Guidance document; copies of which can be found at all Hackney libraries and at www.hackney.gov.uk/spd along with links to all other documents referenced within this consultation.
This consultation summary outlines the suggested changes to how various parts of Stoke Newington Town Hall, Library and rear could be used, subject to planning and/or listed building consent in many cases. These changes are only suggestions and may not form the final uses for the buildings. The Council wants to hear the views of residents on these suggested changes of use before finalising the Planning & Design Guidance document.
Please read the summary document and / or the Planning and Design Guidance document below carefully before completing the survey.
