Exciting plans for Spalding Sessions House




It’s been a place to hold your civil marriage or partnership for a couple of years, but now Spalding’s Sessions House is poised to be able to offer a much wider range of uses.

Naming ceremonies, civil funerals, wedding receptions, drama performances and art exhibitions could all soon be held in the room once frequented by magistrates and criminals.

South Holland district councillors are being advised by officers to remove a condition and allow the owners of the historic property in Sheep Market to extend their provision.

A report to next week’s planning committee says: “Given that the applicant is seeking permission to provide a wider range of uses within the building – including leisure and arts, training/education and corporate functions and those related to births, deaths and marriages – the proposal is considered to be in accordance with the aims of Policy 1 to ensure that Spalding continues to provide services, facilities and economic benefits for the wider area.”

The application has come before the committee because applicant Oliver Sneath is the son of Pinchbeck and Surfleet member Liz Sneath.

Mr Sneath said in his application: “For the venue to have a sustainable future it needs to become more versatile and offer a wider range of uses.”
