The world-famous Pyramid Stage from the Glastonbury Festival could become a permanent fixture in the Somerset countryside if new plans are approved.
Since 2010, Glastonbury Festival Events Ltd. (GFEL) has had planning permission to hold the festival and other events at Worthy Farm on the basis of a rolling temporary planning permission – which is due to expire in 2024.
Mendip District Council advised GFEL back in 2021 that a further extension to this temporary permission would not be allowed, since it was “contrary to best planning practice” as laid out by central government. GFEL has therefore applied for the festival and associated events to have permanent planning permission, which would “provide more certainty and additional flexibility” in the years to come.
