TerryMcCann Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 The fires are a bit dodgy though, they have planning for the Cresent now though, don't they....? I don't really see why they'd bother doing it. Majestic, yes because it was in the way. With the Cresent though, it's not just a case of retaining part of the facade, they are replicating it, even if the building burned to the ground they'd have to do that. Cheaper to do that then have to retain any of it, granted, but would they really be that arsed about a few grand? One of the planning conditions is the preservation of the frontage of the old cinema which is likely to be pretty costly. Should an 'act of god' make it unsafe and require demolition there will be considerable cost savings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
