Hitchin s Market Theatre has been saved for now, as plans to renovate the 25-year-old venue into flats have been withdrawn.
A source familiar with NHDC s planning committee has confirmed that the application has now been withdrawn by the applicant before planning officers could make a decision on it.
It is not yet clear why the application has been pulled it, but large swathes of opposition to the plans have emerged online following our report. The planning portal will continue to show the applications until it is updated.
