Haverhill multiplex wins backing
A five-screen multiplex cinema funded by St Edmundsbury Borough Council has moved a step closer after the scheme proposed for Haverhill won backing from both full council and the board of leading UK operator Cineworld.
St Edmundsbury’s full council voted in favour of investing £9.25 million in creating the complex last night. The proposal had already won the unanimous support of the council’s Cabinet and last week, directors from popular multiplex chain Cineworld, which runs a highly successful complex in Bury St Edmunds, also gave their backing to the project.
Although there are still many negotiations to complete, it is hoped a planning application for the 17,500 sq ft cinema will be lodged within the next few months. If it wins planning consent, the complex will be built by developers Citygrove, which constructed the Bury multiplex, and will boast two top national chain restaurants, one well-known drive-through and a shop dedicated for leisure use. The development will lie next to Haverhill’s leisure centre in Ehringshausen Way and will provide employment for local people. It is hoped work on the complex, which will cater for audiences of between 900 and 980 people, could be complete by summer 2008.

Multiplex cinema hopes for Haverhill
Proposals for a £9.25 million investment by St Edmundsbury Borough Council in a five-screen multiplex cinema in Haverhill will be discussed by the Cabinet next week.
The Cabinet is being asked to recommend to full council that £2.5 million is taken from the £10 million set aside for the Haverhill masterplan to fund the project, alongside a further borough council investment of £6.75 million. The potential investment depends on the successful completion of negotiations with a leading UK cinema operator.
The site for the proposed multiplex development lies next to the town’s leisure centre in Ehringshausen Way, on a stretch of land in front of the all-weather pitch. If the project wins approval from full council and the leading UK cinema operator, the 17,500 sq ft complex would seat between 900 and 980 people and also include four commercial units. These are likely to be filled by top national chain restaurants, including a drive-through, and a shop dedicated for leisure use. The development would bring a new leisure quarter to the town which would kick-start the area’s evening economy while also providing employment for local people.
If funding for the cinema is approved, it is hoped two car parks will be created to serve it. The spaces created would add to the existing provision in the area while also replacing a number which would be lost as a result of the construction. The car parks may offer the potential for dual use at a later date for a park and ride scheme.
Apart from delivering a facility which has consistently been number one on the wish list for Haverhill residents, the development would also provide a new public square and would uplift the southern end of town close to the Jubilee Walk area, which will soon to be regenerated by St Edmundsbury, also as part of the Haverhill masterplan.
If the cinema wins financial backing, it is hoped a planning application can be submitted by the autumn. Construction work is estimated to take 18 months, giving a potential opening date in the summer of 2008.
The proposals set out the capital investment by St Edmundsbury and also the return the council can expect to receive. It is anticipated that the loss of interest from the capital spent to construct and fit out the multiplex will be compensated by the income received from renting the cinema and restaurants to the operator.
