00:00A former cinema and nightclub in Castleford that was damaged by fire is set to become social housing after revised
00:07plans were approved by Wakefield Council.
00:10The picture house has stood empty since a suspected arson attack occurred in 2017, but developers say the building has
00:18become an eyesore in the town centre.
00:20The updated scheme increases the number of flats planned from 25 to 37 while reducing planned commercial units on the
00:29ground floor of the building.
00:31Planning documents say the development will secure the long-term future of the historic building and help support activity in
00:39Castleford Town Centre.
00:41FICO Homes is expected to manage the scheme.
