I was told by a business owner near the site that Ballet Rambert didn't own the whole site. Although Picturehouse have got planning permission part of it is for property they don't currently own and they don't seem to be proceeding with acquisition. In addition the negative response from residents in the immediate area has caused them to look again at their parking analysis and made them realise that the objectors had a point. They aren't necessarily bothered about taking up resident parking spaces in the evening but they apparently had assumed there would be some parking for patrons. Combine this with new and unexpected competition in the area and rising staff costs and you get good reasons to be sceptical about a 2015 opening date. This would be very disappointing even with the arrival of Curzon in Acton. |
