Former gallery space converted to retail
The owners of The Tea Factory have been given permission to change unit 2 (previously known as The Tea Leaf Art Gallery) in to a retail space or office for professional or financial statements.
When the building was completed Tea Leaf Arts were given a two year rent free period as part of the developer's Section 106 agreement, to develop a commercially sustainable business. Unfortunately the gallery couldn't find a viable model at that location, so it's quite right that this should be returned to commercial use.
With Tea Dance for Little People to the left and Green Tea Architects to the right, it remains to be seen what kind of tea-themed business could make a go of it there. Tea Money Transfers?
