New legislation protecting\u00a0existing music venues from residential developments will come into effect in the UK April 6th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local planning authorities will now have to consider the noise impacts on residential developments located next to\u00a0music venues. \u00a0Previously, if an office building near a music venue was\u00a0transformed\u00a0into a residential building, the new residents who complained could have\u00a0an impact\u00a0on the venue’s future.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the statement<\/a> created by the Music Venue Trust<\/strong>\u00a0– the new legislation says, “developers are now required to seek approval on noise complaints when office buildings are converted into residential properties.”\u00a0Quite simply – if a music venue is nearby,\u00a0you can’t\u00a0change offices into flats.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0the new legislation\u00a0proposals\u00a0don’t go as far as a full “agent of change<\/em>” principle, it is a “huge breakthrough” with much of it promoting the UK’s grassroots music venues.<\/p>\n

As said by\u00a0Mark Davyd of Music Venue Trust:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis common sense move by the government provides an opportunity for local authorities to use their powers to ensure that live music continues to play a vital economic, cultural and social role in our towns and cities.\u00a0For music venues, this has never been about stopping development or preventing the creation of much needed new housing; it’s always been about ensuring that new development recognises the culture, economy and vibrancy of city centres by building great housing, enabling existing music venues and new residents to live in harmony. This is a major victory for the UK’s music venues and music fans. The fight to protect, secure and improve them goes on.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
