1 I, David Geddes, have been asked by the London Borough of Waltham Forest
to provide expert witness at a Planning Inquiry to consider an appeal by the
United Church of the Kingdom God (UCKG
their applications to convert the former Granada Cinema into a church plus a community functions facility called the Granada Rooms, and also to convert it into a church plus a six screen cinema.
2 I have been asked to particularly provide evidence on whether use of the
building entirely for entertainment purposes is viable and what the relative impact on the town centre of use of the building for entertainment purposes might be by comparison to UCoposals.
3 I was asked by the London Borough of Waltham Forest to prepare a report
about the scheme which included the cinema to assist them in consideration of the application. I did so in a report1 issued in August 2012. This proof largely replicates that report. The following are significant elements have been added: an evaluation of the scheme that includes the Granada Rooms and the impact that would have by comparison to alternatives; comparison of the nature of the building if it was restored for entertainment purposes with other venues in London; further assessment relating to whether a cinema company is likely to be ; and case studies about the Regal Cinema in Evesham and the Hammersmith Apollo. There are some changes in wording and emphasis but none that are intended to be material. With the exception of additions of Granada Rooms projections, financial projections are unchanged.
4 I have reviewed both applications for change of use and, in particular: the
Community Access Statement and Design and Access Statement, and the Granada Rooms Operating Intent2, prepared in support of the 2009 5 R R P V
