00:00A live music and events venue is set to be created at the site of a former Engineering
00:06Works. A planning application to convert a Grade II listed building on Jack Lane in Hunslet
00:12has been approved. Hunslet Heritage sought permission to turn the building, previously
00:17part of Boyne Engineering Works, into an events space with a cafe and hot food takeaway. A
00:23planning report said there is recognised demand locally for a new events venue to serve the
00:28inner Leeds population, with on-site parking for visitors from further afield. Leeds City
00:34Council granted permission, saying the scheme would not harm the appearance of the building.
00:39The venue will be allowed to stay open until 6am Thursday to Saturday and 2am Sunday to
00:44Wednesday for live music events. A noise assessment found that music would not be heard from nearby
00:50homes and no objections from nearby householders were received. It will also cater for conferences,
00:56weddings and exercise classes.
