Summary
This application is for works at the Watermill Theatre in Bagnor, near Newbury. The theatre is a protected old building, meaning any changes to it need special permission from the council. The site sits in the North Wessex Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The River Lambourn runs directly adjacent to the site. Two other protected old buildings are close by, including Bagnor Mill House. Because the description provided with the application is blank, it is not possible to say exactly what changes are proposed. The council will need full details before it can decide.
