I have looked at the plans the Potter House Christian Fellowship has for the Gala Bingo Hall in Lea Bridge Road. They want a change of use from Cinema to Church. Amazingly the Design and Access statement is barely 1 page of A4 which states they will not be changing the building in any way other than the signage. The largest document is the Travel Plan, which will discourage car travel and encourage, very strongly, public transport or cycling.
It is not clear if they are closing their existing premises in Folkestone Road, E17 9SD. It seems strange they should take on such a large building and have no plans (or money?) to refurbish it! I have heard they cause problems with noise (hymn singing) with their existing neighbours so this new venue will be more suitable.
