Net Zero Carbon Development Plan

Theatres Trust has signed up to the Culture Declares Emergency campaign and has set out commitments to help influence and improve the sector’s sustainability. The district contains theatres including the Priory and Talisman in Kenilworth, Bridge House and Warwick Hall in Warwick and the Loft Theatre in Leamington Spa. These are vital cultural and community spaces that enable local people to enjoy live performance and contribute to wellbeing, inclusion and placemaking. Theatres, like all public buildings, have an impact on the environment so efforts to improve their sustainability will generally be supported. To that end the Trust has made grants available to theatres undertaking such projects and we are a source of free advice and support where works are proposed.

Therefore we are supportive of this DPD coming forward and the additional policy and guidance it provides to applicants.
