Magistrates will decide the fate of a developer's controversial plans to turn a historic city centre building into an entertainment centre.
Belgrave developer Ashik Madlani wants to stage plays, films, wrestling, live music and dance events at the former Edwardian Guild for the Disabled building, now called the Charles Venue, in Colton Street, Leicester.
He is appealing against a decision by the city council's licensing committee in March which ruled the proposed use of the grade II-listed building – which would open until 5am, Monday to Friday – would disturb neighbours.
