The Piece Hall

4.90 The Grade I Listed Piece Hall in central Halifax is one of the most important buildings in Calderdale. Whilst it has been reasonably successful over the years in attracting visitors, the changes that have occurred in the expectations that people have regarding such facilities, together with an increase in the growth of attractions elsewhere, have meant that the Hall has become relatively less attractive. Over the Plan period, the Council expects that the Piece Hall will be further developed both as an attraction and as an important part of the regeneration of central Halifax, bearing in mind the historical and architectural significance of the building. Accordingly:-

4.91 Reference should also be made to the following relevant policies : - Policy BE 14 ‘Alteration and Extension of Listed Buildings’, Policy BE 15 ‘Setting of a Listed Building’, Policy BE 16 ‘Change of Use of a Listed Building’ and Policy BE 17 ‘Demolition of a Listed Building’.
