Blackburn Islamic prayer house and school knocked back after residents fight plans
A controversial plan to turn a terraced house into an Islamic evening education and prayer centre has been rejected. Planners said no to the proposal to turn 40 Leach Street in Ewood, Blackburn, into a madrassah.
Now the local authority’s planners have rejected the application. Ewood Conservative Cllr Jon Baldwin said: “I believe this is the right decision. It was absolutely in the wrong place. It just wasn’t safe.
“The application site relates to a three bedroom end terrace dwelling at the junction of Leach Street and Rockcliffe Street. The area is generally defined by its residential terraced street pattern. “Neighbours were consulted. 11 individual objections and a 73 signature petition were received. Objections are: transport impacts; general noise / nuisance; low demand; and loss of family housing. The site is not supported by an accessible and convenient bus route and cannot be considered to be in a sustainable location. The site is located within a densely populated residential area characterised by terraced rows supported only be on-street parking.
