14 Christmas light switch-on events to look forward to in Cambridgeshire<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n “This use would complement the other leisure authorised uses on the Cromwell Leisure Park (cinema, restaurants) and provide greater diversity across the leisure park that may attract different visitors,” says the statement.\n<\/p>\n
\n It adds: “Re-use of a vacant unit would create social and economic benefits to residents (new jobs, new leisure experience) and the local authority (collection of business rates, improving business\/investment confidence).\n<\/p>\n
\n “It will assist in increasing footfall around the Cromwell Leisure Park, particularly for the evening and weekend economies.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The proposal will ensure that a vacant commercial unit in a prominent location is restored to a viable use, helping to lower vacancy rates and visual decline\/perception of failure.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The application has already garnered support from local councillors, with the town council’s infrastructure and planning committee giving its support at its meeting on Monday.\n<\/p>\n
\n Town and district councillors Steve Tierney and Samantha Hoy have also individually written in support of the proposal.\n<\/p>\n
\n Cllr Tierney simply wrote: “I support this!”\n<\/p>\n
\n While Cllr Hoy commented: “I am in support of this. It gets the unit back in use and by the looks of it will be an entertainment venue which will enhance the area.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The council has submitted plans for a change of use for the former Frankie and Benny’s restaurant, located…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-277945","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
