just because someone wants to tear down top of the town and stick some flats up over the road
the council refused planning permission, but the buildings inspectorate (based in bristol) over ruled it

It is a shame that greed and not common sense leads the way.
(The venue owners can just sell their plot, where it will be turned into even more flats.)

only been there a few times and tbh i really liked it. tbh more drugs and wasters in town centre at time and envy and NB's. be a shame but things cant always stay as they are.
remember thinking when i first went that it was in a really odd location though tbh.
didn't it used to be a working mens club?remember thinking when i first went that it was in a really odd location though tbh.
Sad to hear this but the press release from the owner is simply naive. Afraid planning policy is the issue here, not profit, and that requires high density residential urban redevelopment in suatainable locations like this else govt growth targets can't be met. If the Borough Council refused consent and avoided being penalised in costs terms when having that decision overturned on appeal then it sounds like the C/tax payers of Northampton got off lightly. Of course, there's nothing to stop the owner selling the site for housing and reinvesting the proceeds in a new venue in a different location; or investing in some sound proofing if he wants to stay there, is there?

Bugger off 
now there is a good idea Don't worry people, the Purplehaus group who own Soundhaus also own Roadmender now. The main problem is not the flats but the fact the lease is 20 years and Purplehaus cannot to commit to a lease that long. This has made the lease available for compulsory purchase order and this is what has happened.
The Roadmender will share it's nights with Soundhaus DJ's and the smaller bar area will be made bigger and the alternative DJ sets and bands will continue to visit Northampton.
We need to continue what we are doing as no other venue in Northampton is interested in the bands Purplehaus sign up.
Hope to see some of you there on the Projekts night.

Utter tosh. Don't judge the people who visit the venue. There is less trouble at Soundhaus than most places in Northampton. Edited by Flying Toilet on Tuesday 1st April 11:53
