Revised plans for a five-screen cinema in the centre of Grantham have been unanimously approved by councillors.
Councillors gave the go-ahead for the plans on land off St Catherine’s Road at a South Kesteven District Council development control committee meeting on Tuesday, July 25.
The new complex will now include:
Five screen cinema
Two restaurant units on the ground floor
Leisure/office space
Associated landscaping
Previous plans for the site included a six screen cinema, with four new screens and the refurbishment and overcladding of two existing screens and a restaurant with office space above.
Changes to these plans include:
A smaller building footprint and amendments to the internal layout and elevations.
The cinema entrance has been moved from St Catherine’s Road to the north-west corner of the site to ensure footfall past the restaurant units is maximised. This has meant an adjustment of the cinema foyer level. The foyer level is at a higher point on the site than the previous application. This has resulted in the roof level of the cinema being higher than the previous application.
The number of screens is reduced by one and the overall number of seats has come down from 1025 to 705.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has confirmed plans to jet-wash blocked gullies in Leadenham following persistent flooding, which has left residents and businesses in constant fear of property damage during heavy rainfall.
The council intends to jet the A607 outside Leadenham Post Office as an urgent measure to mitigate ongoing flood risks, with a full clean scheduled for January. The announcement comes after a plea from Leadenham Parish Councillor Martyn Everett, who highlighted significant flooding along Sleaford Road.
