Drama building wins planning excellence title
The Chester Chronicle
|June 26, 2025
THEATRE Porto in Ellesmere Port has been unveiled as this year’s winner of the Royal Town Planning Institute’s (RTPI) North West Awards for Planning Excellence.
-
The entry won the Best Project and Best in Region award.
Theatre Porto championed the reuse of a rich heritage of buildings for the benefit of people, communities and the environment.
It has seen the restoration of a locally listed Victorian manor building and transformed it into a new cultural hub for its local community.
Situated in the heart of Whitby Park, the building has been extended with a new purpose-built auditorium, replacing previous detrimental additions to the original building.
The judges were blown away by this submission, especially having seen it completed and in use.
