A former fruit and veg market will be transformed into an arts space.

Brighton and Hove City Council applied for planning permission to breathe new life into the disused Old Municipal Market in Circus Street, Brighton, by turning it into a major cultural location.

The proposals have now been agreed by the local authority’s planning committee.

The site, which hosted Anish Kapoor’s massive sculpture The Dismemberment Of Jeanne D’Arc during Brighton Festival last year, will remain an arts venue until redevelopment plans are agreed.
