A representative of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing an application from Bramall Hall to hold outdoor theatre productions at Bramhall Park as follows:-

·         ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ by Illyria Productions on Friday, 26 June 2020.

·         ‘Mr Stink’ by David Walliams by Heartbreak Theatre Productions on Sunday, 26 July 2020 and Sunday, August 30, 2020.

A discussion took place in relation to the proposed use of the Archery Lawn for overspill parking for the events.  In response, it was stated that requests for the use of the lawn for parking were limited to no more than six per year, and that in practice the number of vehicles using the facility had been relatively small.  It was stated that the use of the lawn for parking had not resulted in any visible damage.

RESOLVED – That the applications be granted subject to the organiser producing the appropriate papers including an event plan, traffic management plan, health and safety documentation, licenses and insurances.
