A statement from East Herts Council re the withdrawal of CityHeart's planning application

East Herts Council will pause its arts centre plans whilst seeking residents’ views on the culture, arts and community facilities they want to see as part of the redevelopment of Old River Lane.

East Herts Council is inviting comments on an important planning document setting out a strategic vision for future development at Old River Lane in Bishop’s Stortford.

Council invites organisations interested in using the space to get in touch.

The new Northgate End multi-storey car park opens for business in Bishop’s Stortford today (Monday, 13 June), freeing up Charringtons and Causeway for future redevelopment.

The catalyst for the revitalisation of Old River Lane in Bishop’s Stortford is now underway as the new Northgate End multi-storey car park nears completion.

The first act in the exciting development for the East Herts District Council (EHDC) funded Arts Centre and Cinema in Old River Lane is getting underway and we are inviting anyone interested in finding out more to take a look at the plans.

A vibrant arts centre with cinema and performance space, alongside a multi-storey car park and an attractive public square are set to transform part of Bishop’s Stortford as the Old River Lane (ORL) scheme moves forward.

At last night's East Herts Full Council meeting (5 March), councillors voted to approve the budget to appoint a developer for the transformation of the Old River Lane site in Bishop's Stortford.
