00:00Plans have been submitted to transform Wakefield's former coroner's court into a
00:05creative hub of studios and workshops. The Grid 2 listed Georgian building
00:10on Northgate has been empty since inquests moved to newer facilities.
00:15Developer Rushbund, which now owns the site, wants to reorganize internal
00:20spaces and improve accessibility, including installing a lift.
00:25People previously said the building was outdated for court use. Supporters
00:30say the scheme would protect heritage features while supporting small business
00:35businesses as part of wider plans to regenerate the city's civic quarter.
00:40The property dates from around 1810 and has varied historic uses.
