Yvonne Arnaud Theatre Management Ltd. (YATM) hold a 99 year lease
of the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, dated 14th July 1961. The Council are
the freeholder of this property and under the terms of the lease
must approve any structural works to the property, and any
excavation works.

YATM are proposing to install a new elevator within the theatre to
improve accessibility for customers to the upper floors and seating
areas. These installation works will involve creating a lift shaft
and excavating a base pit. YATM have assembled a team of
consultants to advise them on these works.

Their detailed construction plans have been reviewed by the
Council’s Building Surveying team and comments provided to
YATM’s project manager. The installation has been deemed
acceptable and will be an improvement to the building.

It is therefore proposed that the Council grant a License to Alter
to formally approve these works. Under the terms of the License
YATM will be responsible for ensuring that they obtain all
necessary consents.

If you have any queries, then please contact George Musgrave,
Assets & Property Manager, who can provide further
information.
