Wild foods venture apply for permission to refurbish Great King Street block

More interesting developments just across the car park from Craven House.
Bollington-based Fruits of the Forage recently bought the dilapidated block on the Great King Street edge of Churchill Way car park and have put in for planning permission to refurbish the building and create a ‘pop-up food and drink events inspired by the wild edible plants and heritage fruits and vegetables grown in the local area’. The block isn’t included in the land allocated for the proposed cinema development. See planning ref 18/1198M.  Comments by 11 April.
