Ministry of Sound face closure next month
Electronic music staple, London’s Ministry of Sound venue could close next month due to nearby housing developments.
The current proposal, which will see a 41-storey block of flats built right next door to the nightclub, is the second time the owners have had to face such a predicament.
The same situation arose in October 2011 when the housing scheme was originally rejected by planners.
Now, however, a second hearing is set to be heard on 26 February.
Talking to the Evening Standard, owner James Palumbo refused to believe that both buildings could co-exist.
He said:
“The bottom line is if they build that block of flats, we are going to close. If you’ve got a flat in the second floor in that building, you’d object to the noise.”
A petition to stop the building development has been started here.
