Legal round-up: Mayfield success for Licensing Legal; James Maguire

NICHE Manchester law firm Licensing Legal advised the Mayfield Depot Management Company on winning a licence for the venue, which can house 7,500 people.

The disused railway station, empty since 1986, will be used for arts, music events and 25 club night events a year.

Manchester City Council licensing committee granted a licence but with 79 conditions attached.

The depot on Fairfield Street will need safety and soundproofing work to transform it into a 7,500 capacity venue.

Licensing Legal director Anthony Horne said: “This is one of the biggest projects I have been involved with in my entire 34-year career. The scale of it means it’s going to bring a lot of new business to the city centre.

“Mayfield is an unbelievable building and a great example of early 20th century industrial space.”
